Summary: Lots of holes
Comment: I heard good things about this book, but I was very disappointed by it. It has lots of missing information, lacks pictures of many things that I feel it should have, and just is plain incomplete in many instances.
It failed me more times than it was useful when I was trying to find out particular information when I needed it.
I guess it's worth the space it takes on my bookshelf, but keep in mind it's very thin.

Summary: Almost great...not quite there
Comment: This book is very detailed in the history of the Stratocaster and has some good historical information about Fender and CBS. Great detail for learning how to date a Stratocaster (especially for those novices looking to buy on Ebay). The information is chronilogically presented and the text formatting is inconsistant. The b&w photos are printed poorly.
This book is in serious need of an updtate (it references through Stratocasters manufactured in 1993). There is also a purist approach to not consider Fender's 2nd line (the Squier Brand) which has (in some people's opinions), higher quality than what carried the Fender name (at least in the mid-80's).
In the absence of a better publication, I highly recommend this book.

Summary: A great reference on Strats
Comment: This little book is one of the best references I have ever come across for the Stratocaster. It goes into a good level of detail regarding the history of this great guitar and how it has changed over time. I found the section on dating Strats especially useful. I have referenced the book quite a bit in describing what I wanted on my Custom Strat. The only drawbacks would be some of the formatting of the text (no biggie) and many of the b/w photos would be more effective in color. If you are a Fender fan and/or a gear-head, I would highly recommend this book and Duchossoir's Telecaster book.
