Written by Nicholas Stoia.

Published by Oxford University Press. 1st 2021. Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper.

As children, many of us learn to sing, "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands."

This book studies one of the most productive and enduring shared musical resources in North American vernacular music. Black paper boards, gilt title to spine. ISBN: 9780190881979. A lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed to rear panel.
