About This Item
New York: Dover Publications, 1971. Paperback. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Trade Paperback in Good Condition. An unabridged, unaltered republication of the original edition (1957). Black-white cartoons throughout by Gerard Hoffnung, who has here prepared his own somewhat less than serious companion to the sophisticated world of music. From A (Amateur) to Z (Zither), this is an alphabetically arranged book of musical terms with delightful cartoons displaying Hoffnung's irreverent attitude to a form of culture he says we often take too seriously. The book is bound in clean and unmarked illustrated red wraps with light wear to some edges, heel scuffed, small crease to upper front corner. Former owner pencil notes on first page. Internals clean and unmarked. A fun book. 56 pages. 5.4 x 8 . 1971, Dover Publications, New York.
