Brad Paisley's new book, Diary of a Player, will be published on Nov. 1 by Howard Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster. The book is "a salute to the guitar gods of country, blues, and rock 'n' roll who have shaped his life," according to press materials. In addition, the book tells the personal story about how Paisley's love for his guitar is a constant theme throughout his life. Paisley co-wrote the book with David Wild, a contributing editor to Rolling Stone and an Emmy-nominated television writer and producer.
