Many of you will be aware of "The Black Strat: A History Of David Gilmour's Black Fender Stratocaster", the superb book written by Phil Taylor, David's long-term guitar technician, studio manager, production director and much more [review here]. It takes a careful and detailed look at one of rock's most iconic instruments. Rather than a dry, technical manual, suited only to those who already know guitars inside and out, it is a rewarding and accessible book that Pink Floyd fans the world over will thoroughly enjoy, packed with truly rare pictures that you won't have seen before.

For a limited period, those who haven't snapped it up already should head over to Amazon who are doing it at a very special price. With the UK, US and Canadian branches of the online store discounting it by up to 37% off the normal price, it's the perfect time to grab it for yourself, or as a great Christmas gift for a friend. You can order it at this special price through Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, or Amazon Canada. Amazon Germany and Amazon France have it, but not at such a discount - however, all Amazon stores ship worldwide so you won't miss out on this special pricing.
