I'd try a few different ones to get an idea on pricing. In my area (DC), guitar lessons float between $40-80/hour (most will allow 30 minute increments) depending on style. Most teachers give a discount if you pay by month or take a full hour rather than a half hour. Although, I think that learning from a book is a good plan, I believe it works better as a suppliment rather than the main focus. Students learn signficantly faster with a teacher than they do alone, generally.
