The blackguard book?

iheartreverb

hi all,

i have a mate mate who is a big time guitar collector and apparently has "all the books" with this being the rarest thing to come by.
can anyone offer information even if digital copies are available? Would really like to surprise someone who seems to have everything.
thanks

There are no digital copies that I can find. You'll pay through the arse for a copy because that's what specialist music books with a limited print run are like.

I didn't think that they were that rare... an amazing book, and Im lucky to own one

You could put a WTB on TDPRI, probably your best bet. It is epic, damned heavy too. The author is also on there as Nacho IIRC.

I thought I read somewhere (prob TDPRI) recently that you can actually still buy it directly from Nacho?
Might be worth emailing him to see if that is true (assuming the email address on this page is still active) http://theblackguardbook.com/

EDIT>>seems as recently as January he was still selling direct.
