Please, though, take note of the cut-off date (1873)--one doesn't learn much about the development of the dreadnought in the 1910s except a bit at the very end, looking forward. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Martin lived in was pretty interesting, he set the example for all flat ... *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2015* I have no use for Martin guitars. I make my own. But the time the original C.F. Martin lived in was pretty interesting, he set the example for all flat top guitar things to come after him, and his journey was fascinating. The chore of reading all the Martin records of this time period must have been arduous, but I'm glad Gura undertook the project. It was a good read and I should have given it another star but I'm feeling like a fuss-budget today. I'll read it again---perhaps more than once---but not for awhile. If you are a Martinophile who indulges in history, you pretty much have to read this book. You'll love your Martin guitars even more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars All business, not much guitar *by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018* If you want an interesting and well-written description of commerce and industry (with quite a lot about music culture) in the 19th century, buy this book. If you want a detailed description of the development of the Martin guitar in the 19th century, get the Shaw and Szego book, "Inventing the American Guitar: The Pre-Civil War Innovations of C.F. Martin and His Contemporaries". Since I'm a lot more interested in guitars than accountancy, the Shaw and Szego book was much more interesting to me. The Gura book is good, but it doesn't have a lot to do with guitars (pretty pictures, though). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12526697-c-f-martin-and-his-guitars-1796-1873-h-eugene](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12526697-c-f-martin-and-his-guitars-1796-1873-h-eugene) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
