Chet Atkins Book

The book arrived quickly and in was in GREAT shape. I'll definitely order from this place again!

Great read. Be careful regarding what you're buying though.

I already owned this book and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I bought a second copy because I thought I was purchasing what was pictured - an AUTOGRAPHED copy of the book in fine condition. What I received was an thoroughly worn out, ex-library copy of the book - nothing like the one pictured and no autograph. In fact, someone had underlined text and written notes in the margins throughout the book. YIKES! Apparently, the picture is not of the actual copy you will receive. So be careful and ask questions about the specific copy you are buying BEFORE you purchase it. Fortunately, I was able to return the copy I got for a refund.

Very tender and personal

I'm finding Chet's book a real tender and personal story. He writes wtih an eye for the past and open heart. I'm enjoying it very much.
