SynopsisA beautifully illustrated coffee table bookin which Kellerman shares his incredible, world renowned guitar collection. Includes an introduction by Andy Summers and photography by Jonathan Exley., For thirty-five years, bestselling author and accomplished musician Jonathan Kellerman has been, as he puts it in his Introduction to this lavishly illustrated, endlessly fascinating volume, "chasing fabulous sound." The result of that quest is a world-class collection of guitars, mandolins, and other stringed instruments that number more than 120 . . . and counting. Kellerman takes us on a fascinating guided tour through his collection, complete with rich personal histories of his favorite instruments and of the brilliant, often eccentric craftsmen and musicians who brought them to life. It is a record of one man's lifelong love affair with the guitar . . . and it is much, much more. Whether writing about household names such as Fender, Gibson, Martin, and Dobro or about marques revered by aficionados-D'Angelico, Hauser, Stromberg, and Torres-Kellerman brings to bear the same sure storytelling instincts and keen attention to detail that characterize his bestselling fiction, making each entry a sparkling mini-essay as much to be savored as the sensual photographs that follow. Your fingers won't be walking through With Strings Attached . They'll be strumming. Picking. Stroking. And dancing., A beautifully illustrated coffee table book in which Kellerman shares his incredible, world-renowned guitar collection of 108 of the most sought-after musical instruments. Lavishly illustrated with photography by renowned photographer Exley and complete with an introduction by Andy Summers, the famed Police guitarist, this book is a gift from one guitar lover to another. Also includes descriptive essays on the history, structure and idiosyncratic features of these unique instruments.

Interesting book on a personal Guitar collection by novelist
The book is a large table top book beautifully illustrated with accompanying text about each guitar and its history. The collection belongs to a well know and published mystery author so you know the guitar descriptions are well done.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Outstanding Photography
Keller man is well-known for his novels, an a few non-fiction works, but this book of high level photography of his outstanding guitar collection is much more than a coffee table book. It almost reads like a mini-history of the guitar and related instruments. His photographer, Jonathan Exley, pulled no punches in delivering crystal clear and beautiful artwork of Kellerman’s collection.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

So well written. I learned a lot but was also entertained. I love that Knutsen gets nearly as many pages as Gibson!
