Books about guitars

[soundchaser]

Recently, I've been expanding my book library, and I figured that it would be nice to have some good "coffee table" books about guitars.
But I want something that has meaning, showing history, specs, important information, not just printed pictures.
I already have Hetfield's Messengers and I like it. Vai's book looks very good too, but for $400, he can go f*ck himself.

What about other books? Like Stratocaster 70 Years, Les Paul 70 Years, PRS The Complete History... Are they any good? Do you have any suggestions?

I got a book on the Les Paul, it's very informative. Helps with all kids of stuff from playing technique to repairs and everything you can think of that has to do with the Les Paul.

Those seem ok for luthiers, but I'm looking for something more like an encyclopedia.
