Scott Fitzgerald (feel free to send us your unwanted early copies of "Gatsby"), Dashiell Hammett (ditto "Maltese Falcon" -- though Carter misses Hammett, as well), L. Frank Baum, Edgar Rice Burroughs, etc. Jacket rear panel advertises John Carter and Graham Pollard's "An Enquiry Into The Nature of Certain XIX Century Pamphlets," which the publishers trumpet as "The greatest bibliographical sensation ever known in England" -- a claim for that piece of shocking literary detective work which was not overstated.

Synopsis: This is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of Farm Aid that commemorates the struggles and contributions of family farmers in America and the more than three hundred artists that have performed on the Farm Aid stage. Willie Nelson organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 and hoped it would be a one-time event that would ensure the continued survival of our valuable commodity, the farming family. Unfortunately, the nation is losing farmers all the time, but the annual Farm Aid benefit concert has helped slow this down through the years by contributing more than $26 million. This book features the voices of Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, and Dave Matthews, an introduction by Eric Schlosser, and black-and-white concert photography by Paul Natkin and Ebet Roberts. Essays by Dave Hoekstra.
