Converse Green Book - where is it?

[Rob MacKillop]

Can anyone tell me where they got theirs? I'd like to buy my own copy. Elderly don't stock it.

It's the 'Banjo WITH or Without a Master', 1865, often called the green book.

No help here, I got mine from Elderly when they had them.

Tuckahoe seem to be the shyest publisher ever. No website. No email. Do they want to sell books or not? Belongs to Joe Ayers, doesn't it?

I bought the last one out of another store a year or two ago. It took me several weeks to find it. Good luck

I just called Elderly, and they said it is TOP (temporarily out of print). I think that means it is POP. They're still out there somewhere, I'm certain.

Well, watch for a hot tip. Otherwise, Brown University can supply a copy (for a $price$).
Have fun with that new Boucher. Ha.

There's a Converse book advertised here, but i'm not sure it's the one you are looking for. Give it a look and see.

Thanks, Paul, but no - it's not what I'm looking for. Converse's titles are confusing. There is the 'Banjo Without A Master' and 'Banjo With Or Without A Master', both from the same year, 1865. I have the former but not the latter.

The book advertised on that site is tab versions of some of the former. Plus, I'd MUCH rather work from a copy of the original.

But thanks for mentioning it!
