248 pages followed by 11 page book catalogue & 9 pages of advertising
approx. 5 1/2" x 8"

and embossing did not come out right. I fussed with the pictures some to approximate
it) Contains illustrations of various parts and workings

the binding is loosening
This book appears to be rare. Published the same year as W.E. Dickson's
"Practical Organ Building" which seems to be much more readily available.
It is also similar in size and book design to Dickson's book and I can imagine
that there was a race between the publisher's to reach this market.

J Augustin Publisher
1943 Presumed First Edition 351 pages

This book was at one time at the center of controversy over the origins of American Spiritual music. See Understanding Spirituals
Stated "Printed in Germany" - which I find extremely curious because the US was at war with Germany in 1943. Which leads me to wonder if the publisher, which had originated in Germany, continued to use a German printer until the war and overlooked the typeset for Germany on the designated page.

The following review from the Fortnightly Review printed opposite the
Title page states:
"The poems have the wild melancholy and the fierce simplicity of
all true popular ballads, with an undertone of ghastly mystery that reminds
one of the Highland second sight and irish fairy tales .... They are directly,
passionately, fiercely human; ...but there is a also a fierce love of
battle and of blood, such as rings through the Nibelungen epic"

Selling the book and pamphlet together. Along with the book is this pamphlet for the Wicks Pipe Organ Co. written also by Willaim Barnes who apparently wrote in the Contemporary American Organ about inadequacies in Wicks' Direct Electric Action. However by the time the book was published, the action had been improved and redesigned and Wicks' created this booklet for Barnes' retraction at the same time acting as a sales brochure for Wicks.
The pamphlet / brochure is 32 pages in mint condition. It has been sitting safely inside the back cover of the book all these years.
