Finally there's an actual paper book on Electric violins. This hardback volume covers all the bases, with history, bios of makers, articles about amplification and transducers, and several appendicies with useful info for violin builders. A gorgeous book, with lots of great color photos, well bound on high-quality paper. Highly recommended.
