Item description from seller

Quarto, [20]pp., illustrated. A very good copy in the publisher's stapled printed glossy wraps. Some foxing and dust-soiling to wraps, else very nice internally. A few leaves printed on gold or silver paper; a nicely produced booklet. Hendrix, who at some point in her career also went by the name Elma Lois Hendrix Parham, was a popular gospel singer in Detroit. According to Discogs (a second-hand record-selling website), she appeared on at least one record album. On the rear inside cover is a full-page advertisement for Elma and Carl's Music Publishers, a kind of full-service gospel music establishment in Detroit, of which she was the co-owner. This program was produced for a 1966 celebration of her work and achievements. The program itself, which includes a portrait photograph of Hendrix on the front wrap, contains mostly local advertisements, which specifically congratulate Hendrix on her honor. Altogether, both a handsome living tribute to a dedicated Detroit musical artist, and a good record of local, mostly African-American-owned businesses during the period.…

Store description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.…
