I was surprised at how quickly and how deeply I became engrossed in Clapton's Guitar by Allen St. John. St. John is a guitar junkie who lusts after a guitar hand built by Wayne Henderson. In order to get his own guitar, he gets Henderson to build Clapton one.
As the Kirkus review blurb (click on the header) notes, the book weaves many threads into its tapestry. Great nonfiction. My one disappointment was that Clapton himself didn't reappear for the finale. ****
Here's a bonus: Wayne Henderson playing one of his guitars. Here's another.
