No it's only got 286 pages, not enough for everything!
But sure enough Ian Anderson is featured!

^ Yes, but does it have Ian Anderson playing the claghorn?

Another 5-stars review, this one for the Spanish version in the webpage of the FNAC store.
So far out of 22 ratings, 21 are 5-stars and 1 3-stars. "An astonishing guide. This work has surprised me in an exceptional way. I am not a musician, although I have lived indirectly linked to this profession for many years, so some of the instruments are quite familiar to me. However, I want to emphasize that having always been a fan of symphonic rock, reading this guide has been fascinating. Not only because of the amount of anecdotes and curiosities that it gathers, but above all, because the author has managed to transport me to the stages where those works were performed with all these instruments, through an impressive collection of photographs, citing the most representative works, or even specifically , the exact song where a certain instrument model sounded. To me at least, simultaneously searching for those songs on YouTube and listeing to them, has unlocked countless memories of the past, making this reading not only entertaining and instructive, but highly rewarding. Highly recommended."  |

Hi, just to inform those who might be interested, Amazon.es has reduced the price even further to 20.49 €
A good opportunity for those who can order to this Amazon portal.

Yet another 5-stars rating (unfortunately without review) for the Spanish version, which maintains its total rating of 5 out of 5 after already 12 ratings!
The Englih version remains with a rating of 4.6 out of 5. Which means that taking together both language versions, out of 21 ratings, 20 of them are 5-stars and 1 of 3-stars (unfortunately without review). Edited by Gerinski - January 10 2021 at 13:07 |

A new 5-stars review in Amazon for the book, which raises the total rating to 4.6 stars over 5 (all but one reviews and ratings gave the book 5 stars, the one exception being a 3-stars rating without comment).
The Spanish version continues with a total rating of 5 out of 5 (ALL the reviews and ratings have given it 5 stars). "Great book, what I would have dreamed of reading 40 years ago! Unique content, knowledgeable and entertaining, describes what you would have always wanted to know, after buying Melody Maker, Musical Express, Popular1..."

Special price offer!
For those interested in the English version of the book and who can order to the Spanish portal of Amazon, Amazon.es, the book is now in special offer price 24.42 € instead of the official retail price of 30.00 €. I have no idea why or for how long will this offer last, I guess they may be willing to get rid of some stock. |

Yes that picture of Howe playing a Les Paul Junior is super cool.
Incidentally the Spanish version of the book (which so far is selling better than the English one) has received another 5-stars rating on Amazon, and it's already 10 out of 10! Pity that the reader didn't leave any comment, only the stars rating. |
