Though maybe not a new book. New to me
I went to Barnes and Noble tonight with entirely hedonistic hopes. I
wanted to find a top-notch coffee table book with absolutely stunning
pics of old strats. It didn't happen.
BUT I found a book called, The Violin Maker by John Marchese.
Check out this description. I've never thought about my tinkering in this
light, but I like it.
In our flimflam, fast-food world of convenience it's exhilarating to learn
that the old-timey craft of violin making still exists in Brooklyn. John
Marchese, one of our best literary journalists, explores the life of colorful
Sam Zygmuntowicz, a retro perfectionist . . .
Worth pulling up on Amazon. There was another with a very similar cover
but different authord called, Piano that follows the making of a
Steinway that I'm interested in, too.
