Robert Johnson was undoubtedly the most outstanding of the Mississippi Delta blues musicians and also one of the first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; but his short life remains steeped in mystery and wrapped in some of the most enduring legends of modern music. Love in Vain is Alan Greenbergrsquo;s remarkable; highly acclaimed; and genre-defying screenplay and is widely considered to be one of the foremost books on Robert Johnsonrsquo;s life and legacy and an extraordinary exercise in American mythmaking. Newly revised and complete with extensive historical notes on Johnsonrsquo;s life and the culture of the Mississippi Delta and blues music during the 1930s; Love in Vain is at once a classic of music writing and a screenplay whose reputation lies firmly in the realm of great American literature.

This is not meant to diminish it in any way - only to point out that if you have the block of wood in front of you and you have a deadline looming close int he futures - this probably would not be of much help. Still - a good keeper in the library at home.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very detailed informationBy SacmoI bought this book to expand my knowledge of woodcut relief printmaking. Although it is very informative in the processes and techniques its focus is heavy on wood engraving. I was not expecting that. It does differentiate in the various relief processes such as linoleum; (which is not wood as in the title) wood; and newer materials that supplement use of wood such as resingrave a plastic matrix for engraving.A very thorough explanation of method; process and tools. great for the individual that wants a know how of this medium with good illustrations and descriptions. Heavy on text; a good book to refer to for "how to"Suitable for college students and adults interested in this medium.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
