Item description from seller

c1930-1940's. This book is in Good condition and was likely issued without a dust jacket. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some rubbing, bumping and wear, along with some fraying. The front spine joint has cracking and fraying. The text pages are clean and bright. This copy has two pages of typewritten lyrics tipped in at the front before the group of advertising pages. This particular copy comes from Omaha, NE. The rear endpaper and rear pastedown page have several scribbles in red crayon. " Rodeheaver emerges as a complex, creative, entrepreneurial marvel, capable of predicting (and profiting from) future trends in sacred music.

Even so, he was blessed with a mightily engaging personality. People liked him. Throughout his life, they trusted him. They wanted him to succeed. And they invariably helped him to succeed." (from a review of Homer Rodeheaver and the Rise of the Gospel Music Industry by Douglas Yeo and Kevin Mungons as found in Christianity Magazine ).…
