*** Special Offer from Anything Left-Handed ***
This set of books normally sells for £140 / $199 and that is the current price on the author's own website at
www.uncommon-sound.com but after we went to Brussels to meet the author and fellow lefthander Jon Engel, he agreed to make a limited quantity available at a large discount to Left Handers Club members so we could get some feedback on it for him. We are not sure how long this will last so don't miss out!
This is the ultimate coffee table book set for anyone interested in left handed musicians and guitars, or just the history of music in general. It is a truly beautiful production put together by left-hander John Engel over many years.

LEFTY GUITARISTS FINALLY GET THEIR RECOGNITION Did you ever wonder how Jimi Hendrix, McCartney, Colbain & others like Huw Gower and Elizabeth Cotton got their sound? Engel profiles 149 lefties & how they differ in approach from the purist lefty who plays lefty guitars to the lefty who plays right handed or strings upside down. All of it lovely! Regina E. Now
Uncommon Sound Unbelievable consolidation of material about a rarity in the music business, the lefty guitarist. I took the books to a Blues show last night to share with folks in the know. The were duly impressed with the breadth of the coverage & hadn't known about this great reference. A few are going to but it Matt Thompson
