Stradivari's Genius: Five Violins, One Cello, and Three Centuries of Enduring Perfection

This book was fascinating. You have to be interested in strings and history to appreciate it, but I found it totally absorbing. It was great to learn about string instrument construction and all the details of shape and varnish. The book follows the history of these six instruments and their owners and that was interesting walk through history. The cello is on loan to Yo-Yo Ma and we have several recordings of him, some on that instrument, so that was fun.
