    I expected the version that I ordered here to be hardback, but it turned out to be paperback. Not happy about but I guess I should have asked instead of assuming. Still a fine book.
    Many years ago, I decided I wanted to learn how to play the mandolin so I went out and bought a cheapo hondo mandolin. Had it for years, then in 2007 I purchased a Morgan Monroe MMS-4 Phantom of the Opry Mandolin. I retired the Hondo to a friend. Now in 2015, to keep the MMS-4 company, I have purchased a Gold Tone 800 Octave Mandolin. Maybe one day I will purchase a custom built Mandolin.

    Wow. High praise from Gruhn indeed. Congrats, Graham!

    I read a book about Casals and the Bach cello suites over Christmas break, and am halfway through a book about Guinness and almost finished with John Cohen's book about Roscoe Holcomb. Then I'll get back to The Mandolin.

    Guinness? Mind sharing the title?
