Excellent Reference
If you want to be Guitar George, this is the book for you.

This book was my bible when learning to play Jazz guitar. Any time I saw a chord I just didn't know or understand, I turned to Chord Orbits to look it up. Or if I wanted a different voicing, this was the place to go. It is the thesaurus of guitar chords.

While it touches on the chord theory a little bit, this is not the book to learn the subject in depth. Theory is not book's strength. But if you are unsure how to form a Dom7#9 or any of 40 different chords, this book will show you 8 different ways to play each.

Perhaps the Single Greatest Guitar Chord Book of All-Time!
I am new to the world of guitar, but Don Latarski's Chord Orbit book is amazing! It is organized according to chord tone and contains chord patterns that can be played up and down the fretboard. Rather than memorize dozens of different fingerings for dozens of different chords, Chord Orbits makes chord fingerings simple and repeatable. This book is remarkable!
