[78-L] Tim Brooks. LOST SOUNDS

[Taylor Bowie]

This is a good chance to remind everyone of Tim's remarkable book about 
early black recording artists,  LOST SOUNDS,  published in a nice 640-page 
hardback by Illinois University Press.  Despite having collected records all 
my life,  Tim's book was my first introduction to Polk Miller and many 
others.

The basic information alone  in the book is well worth the money,   and the 
book itself makes for very entertaining reading...that's a good combination.
