GFA Refereed Monographs

The GFA Refereed Monographs Series aims to encourage the creation and dissemination of studies that contribute significantly to the knowledge of the guitar: its repertoires, its literature, its composers and performers, and its function and place in society. Peer review of each title aims to assure the integrity and quality of the series.

Publishing and dissemination worldwide is achieved through electronic means, i.e. files are downloaded directly from vendor to your computer upon purchase. Note that the latest title in the Refereed Monograph series, The Concert Diary of Agustín Barrios Mangoré, is currently available for purchase exclusively through the GFA website for $9.99.
