Soft cover. Condition: As New. Photography By Roy Short (illustrator). Book Condition: As New. There are no bumps, tears, scratches or defects to be noted. Pages are tight and soft-cover boards are glossy. "Forgotten treasures are lying in old piano benches and dusty attic trunks across the country, wonderful old sheet music that captures the history and essence of bygone days. The golden age of Tin Pan Alley from about 1880 to 1950 comes alive in this first in a series of books about these very collectible treasures that now command surprising prices. The tearful tunes of the Gilded Age are highlighted here, as well as the emergence and growth of the ragtime and blues genres. The gross exaggeration and shocking racism of early twentieth century "coon songs" is exposed, contrasted with the contributions of stellar African-American composers to the theatrical and popular music fields. Fully illustrated with more than 500 photos of orignial sheet music covers from the period, 'The Gold in Your Piano Bench' is a visually arresting book of exceptional reference material. Pricing guidelines based on actual auction sales provide accurate data for collection evaluation. It is a solid addition to a well-rounded library of music literature, not only for beginning and advanced collectors, but also for educators and students, musicians, and other interested nostalgia seekers." 176 pp including Index.
