'Ian's book is of a piece with the man; generous, funny and wise. This is written with a tenderness that only the strongest can aspire to. He describes it, astutely, as the soundtrack to a life and the music embraces everything from half-forgotten music-hall songs to the outer limits of jazz, blues and folk. But beneath these sounds he hears the secret music of the common people - from the mining towns of Yorkshire to the Mississippi Delta - the joy of community and the devastation of loss and betrayal. The final chapter - about Billie Holiday Clayton - is the bravest piece of writing I've ever read. It is, as Lady Day sang, but beautiful.' Alan Plater

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
