American Ballads and Folk Songs

Later printing. 625 pp., offset on commercial stock in grey cloth-covered boards and printed dust jacket. Stated 14th printing. 8vo. Very good in very good jacket. Jacket with a few light spots, minor edgewear and a couple areas of minor chipping with minimal loss, but overall bright and intact. Sparse light pencil annotations to a few pages and on last flyleaf, in the hand of previous owner Maynard Solomon, noted musicologist and co-founder of Vanguard Records. [2176]

Perhaps the bible of American folk music, collected and compiled by John A. Lomax with his son Alan. Rare in such good condition, and a must-have for folk music-lovers.
