A Must Have set of books
This set of books on Martin Guitars is a must have for anyone who plays a Martin. It is informative with tons of facts and history of the Martin Guitar Company and the many models produced since 1833. Production facts and figures along with guitar details make it the resource book for Martin Guitars.

The boxed set is attractive and convenient to store. The photography is outstanding. This would make a great gift for the Martin Guitar lover in your life.

A great price, quick shipping and wonderfully put together. You will not be disappointed with this set of Martin Guitar books.

A great read for every Martin enthusiast!
A great read and reference for anyone who loves Martin guitars. Personally I think the boxed set is the only way to go. If you are interested enough to purchase either of these books why not go ahead and get the whole volume? A nicely packaged and informative set.

Definitive History and Resource
This is a must have for any Martin guitar lover. The company's rich history (both the ups and downs) is presented in a very clear style with numerous pictures of classic Martin guitars and reproductions of company archive material. The technical information is also presented in an easy to digest format and (for me at least) it unlocks many of the mysteries of the Martin brand. This is an heirloom quality box set that you will enjoy reading (and sharing) for years to come.
