Happy weekend everyone! A wonderful book arrived at my door this afternoon - a copy of the second and final printing of Harry Partch's Genesis of a Music!

Originally published in 1949, the 1979 expanded edition was issued just after Partch's death. The text is essential reading for any student of the 20th century avant-garde.

This copy is in magnificent condition. The binding is tight with absolutely no lift to the covers. It appears I will be the first to read it since its publication 37 years ago. I feel honored!

Thank you, Frownland for recommending the title.
