by Dust-to-Digital
supported by 26 fans who also own “What Makes You Happy: Greek Music in New York, December 1918 - May 1928”
This set is a real feat. I feel like a better person after spending time with it. If you’re a physical media purist on the fence about paying for a download that part of you wishes was an LP box set, just do it. I don’t know what I expected of this PDF, but it’s amazingly detailed and lovingly, expertly researched with flawless graphic design. Jonathan Ward is a hero. Give him your money.
