Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second Printing. This is a larger than trade sized paperback book. The book is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. This copy has been turned into a three-ring binder edition by a previous owner. The covers are intact, but the spine has been removed and each page includes three-hole punches and heavy cardstock covers (in order that the book could be more easily read on a piano stand). There is some lightish bumping, rubbing and wear to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The rear cover of the book has spots of noticeable ground-in dirt and foxing. The text pages mostly clean and bright. "The organization was loosely modeled as an American version Great Britain's Workers Music Association, founded 10 years earlier than People's Songs. It published out a weekly newsletter with songs, articles, and announcements of Hootenannies and folk dances. It served as a clearing house for progressive entertainers. There were also occasional special issues with relevant songs on an as needed basis geared for specific rallies, strike, and court cases. Soon the booking agency became an offshoot: People's Artists. People's Songs branched out into several satellite locations in addition to the New York offices. A yearly convention was held as a place to exchange ideas and play songs. The first People's Songs convention was held in 1947 in Chicago, and there was a branch in California headed by Mario Casetta, an army friend of Seeger's from Saipan, who became a key figure in the West Coast folk and world music scene.
