Dare I say, if there were a definitive bible for vintage 1958-60's Les Paul guitars, this may be the closest thing you will find.
I own a hardcover, still in it's original wrapping - #69 of 1000. I also own a spiral-bound copy for viewing, which lays flat, making it an excellent coffee table book. The regular softcover edition is slightly smaller.
The photos are stunning, and it is hard to put down once you open it up. There are also sections in the back that describe everything you would want to know about this 3-year run; From how figures/grain is determined, hardware, dimentional, and wiring specs, even testimonials from some famous Les Paul owners.
The earlier Japanese version of this book includes a profile for Ed King's LP, not found in the English version.
Truly a compelling publication for the aficionado!
