What Strat books are available with plenty of vintage Strats?

I have A.R. Duchossoir's Strat paperback.

Sure would be nice to see a Strat book as comprehensive as Nacho's "Blackguard" book.

Jamie,

Most every book on Strats just can't compare to Nacho's Blackguard Tele book, but the closest thing you might want to check out is The Stratocaster Chronicles: Celebrating 50 Years of the Fender Strat by Tom Wheeler. It's a big, heavy, thick, coffee table-type book chocked full of pictures of Strats, old and new. It also comes with a CD that features Tom Wheeler's interviews with Leo Fender and the great (and funny) Greg Koch playing 50 examples of the various styles of famous Stratocaster players. I highly recommend it.

Joel,

'Preciate the link to the "Strat Chronicles".

Wheeler's "Am.Gtrs" is a classic too. One of the first gtr books I purchased, way back when.
