Rolling Stones Gear is the first book to historically document all of the Rolling Stones' musical equipment. A press release says, "It's also the story of The Rolling Stones, but with a new twist: their history as told through the instruments they used. The book covers not only the group's personal background, but also every tour and studio session from their inception in 1962 to date, with detailed documentation illustrating what instruments and equipment were used during these periods.

"Every song recorded by the band, including demos and out-takes are also documented, with input from within the Stones' ranks as well as from people who were involved with the band.
