From the information on the back cover:

"Once playing techniques have been mastered, most guitarists turn towards building a rich and varied repertoire.  This is often a problem since it is difficult to find enough material that's good to listen to and interesting to work with.

There are plenty of good books for the beginner, but not many for the guitarist looking for musical depth and technical challenge.

Our main objective has been to provide the finest materials available and at the same time assist the aspiring lover of the instrument."


Contains pieces by: J Chr Friedrich Bach; Johann Sebastien Bach; Beethoven-Carulli; Matteo Carcassi; Ferdinando Carulli; Antonio Diabelli; Mauro Giuliani; Filippo Gragnani; Joseph Haydn; Johann Krieger; Lepold Mozart; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; Fernando Sor; and four anonymous pieces.


Book is in good condition - all pages firm.  Cover has rubbing to edges, corners of cover and first few pages are bent over.  No annotations within.  Nice clean pages.  Book tends to fall open at pages 40/41 (crease in spine) but all pages are firmly in.

Colours of book are much brighter than the photographs suggest.
