But talk about "selling folk music" - the hardcover book is $75 from the publisher ($40 from Amazon), and even the Kindle edition is $30. -Joe- But even if you can't afford to buy the book, you can get a video look through it for free: Lots of the items pictured are in my library - I've spent 30 years collecting them. -Joe- |

What a peculiar looking book - like someone's scrapbook, with no annotations. With the price and what looks like no text, it seems like it is designed as a coffeetable book for some music mogul to have on display in their office to show "Hey, I know all about folk music!" while not having a clue to what the illustrations represent. I'm betting Joe could give you extensive information on what he has, rather than just flashing the covers as a tease. Joanne in Cleveland |
