5.0 out of 5 stars
An amazing compendium of exquisite banjo photos!, January 21, 1998
This review is from: 1001 Banjos (Hardcover)
This 18 pound tome needs a bookstand to appreciate it, and a bib to prevent you from drooling on the pages. It has 3000 exquisite art photographs of banjos covering their entire history from the most primitive through the most modern. Although there is wonderful coverage of S.S.Stewart presentation 5-strings and other classic open back 5-strings, the bulk of the book is 4-string banjos, Tsumura's favorite. Almost every notable brand and model is gloriously represented. This was originally published as an edition of 2500 and cost far more to produce than the $500 selling price. It will probably become a collector's item.
