You can order it directly here (http://www.romanillosguitarbooks.com/sh ... ar/7569541), but it is not a good "how to" book for beginning builders, in my opinion. There is lots of good information in the book, and the plans are good, but there are a lot of gaps in the process within the book. The Courtnall book is a better "How To" book.

Thanks Waddy! I have Evans' guitar history book that has a nice article about Romanillos. I want to learn more about his techniques. Dan

I bought a copy of Romanillos' study of Torres on Amazon a couple years back. It's not a building book either.

My first introduction to Romanillos was the Evans book too. Really nice chapter in there. The Courtnall book, "Making Master Guitars", has a great Romanillos section. Romanillos' Torres book is also a fine addition to any guitar library. It's full of good information. You might, eventually, find someone who is not overly fond of the build book, but I'd just go ahead and order one if you really want it. Not cheap, but 70 L is not really that bad.
