If any Rag/Jazz enthusiasts are interested….

Hello All! We’ve got a Jazz/Ragtime collection available to those who are interested. This is from someone who’s been collecting books and LPs on the subject for about 60 years, and has quite the library. He is downsizing and just can’t take it all with him. Prices are good and negotiable. The main requirement is that they will be going to someone who appreciates them, and not for resale. The collection includes:

BOOKS
Approximately 120 Books on Jazz (all decades) and Ragtime - history, discographies and more.

LPs:
1. Complete LP collection of STOMP OFF RECORDS (minus 1), totaling 234 Records.
3. Soviet and East European Records (not all jazz-oriented) - about 50 Records
4. Jazz LPs - About 25 records
5. Ragtime & Jazz Piano - About 20 records
