The Complete Guitarist,
by Richard Chapman
Another great book for the guitar player is The Complete Guitarist by Richard Chapman. Guitar great Les Paul wrote the very insightful introduction. Although it is somewhat "old", it's so well written that its quality has helped it stand the test of time. It, too, discusses the history and styles of guitar. It complements other books of its kind because it expands on music theory and chord combinations. Advanced techniques and recording are also discussed. The beautiful color graphics alone are worth the perusal. It has a very useful glossary in the back. I liked the book so much, I bought a copy myself!
