GUEST,Jim Hauser Book on early folk song collectors? (32) RE: Book on early folk song collectors? 01 Jun 15


Fred,
I'm sorry to hear that you may not be able to get the book through your local library. Interlibrary loan is such a great service, especially when a book is out of print. And some of these books are just too expensive. I've borrowed Bruce Conforth's book on Lawrence Gellert (African American Folksong and American Cultural Politics) through ILL and I'd like to buy it but not at the list price of 75 US dollars or even the Amazon discounted price of $65. When it was published in May 2013, I figured I could buy it used for a decent price in about a year. But over 2 years have passed and Amazon's lowest price for a used copy is currently $55--still too expensive for me
Jim
