Biographies and other books about classical guitarists
Dear All,
Any good books about classical guitarists, virtuosos, biographies, etc. that you've read, enjoyed, and would recommend?
I had read and very much enjoyed "Practicing: A Musician's Return to Music" by Glenn Kurtz. I just ordered "Julian Bream : A Life on the Road" by Tony Palmer, which I am looking forward to receive and read.
Any other suggestions?
All the very musical best,
Ors

Not a book about individual musicians, but if you are interested in the history of the instrument, I recommend 'The guitar and its music' by James Tyler and Paul Sparks:

David Krupka Thank you for the suggestion: I ordered the Tyler & Sparks book.
