Item description from seller

A music critic's description of the decline of classical music and the rise of other forms such as American Music (jazz). Inscribed "To Walter Durtown and the opera theater at the USC With all best wishes (and my apologies) Henry Pleasants Bad Soderberg Dec 10, 1962" on the FFEP. I couldn't read Mr Pleasants' script clearly so the transcription may have some errors. Light edge wear to the DJ with some browning at the edges. The internals are clean and tight. A very good copy.
