Thread Name: Bert Lloyd biography pre-order offer
Subject: RE: Bert Lloyd biography pre-order offer
There's another good reason for checking the Pluto Press jiffybag; namely that they've included a catalogue of books to be published in the second half of the year. They include:-

Woody's Road: Woody Guthrie's Letters Home, Drawings, Photos and other Unburied Treasures. Edited by Marjorie Jo Guthrie Edgmon and Guy Logsdon.

Pete Seeger: His Life in his own Words. Edited by Robert and Sam Rosenthal. As with the Guthrie, this collection seems to have been compiled from Seeger's own wiritings.

It Ain't Me Babe: Bob Dylan and the Performance of Authenticity. Andrea Cossu.

Playing For Change: Music and Musicians in the Service of Social Movements. Robert Rosenthal & Richard Flacks.

For more details check . Pluto Press is a small radical publishing house, which is well supporting in its own right, but which does not appear to have done much in the way of music in the past. If Mudcatters and others can be persuaded to buy the Bert biography, as well as these pipeliners, PP might be persuaded that they can afford to publish more books on radical music in the future.
