Amazon.co.uk Review
The Eyewitness Guides are adept at taking a subject, explaining it clearly and concisely without being in the least bit condescending, and turning what could easily be a dull subject for a child into a stunning collection of words and photographs that makes for a fascinating insight into a new world. This is never more true than in Music, a topic that is particularly difficult to explore without the use of any sound. However, this glossy and stylish book manages to do just that.

Budding musicians will enjoy discovering new and exciting instruments from across the globe, ranging from the more familiar, like piano, violin and electric guitar, to the decidedly exotic, such as the didgeridoo or sitar. Music combines easy-to-digest snippets of information with bounteous colour photographs of some of the world's most amazing and beautiful instruments to present a fascinating journey through the history of sound. --Susan Harrison
