WHERE TO BUY BOOKS

Ragtime: A Musical and Cultural History was in print with University of California Press from 1980 to 2000. The 1984 paperback edition is now available in an unaltered, on-demand reprint, an Authors Guild Backinprint.com Edition. It can be ordered from iUniverse . For those who are interested, I will sell autographed copies at a slightly greater cost. I also have a few remaining hard cover copies for sale. Email me for information.


Reflections and Research may be ordered from the Institute for Studies in American Music. These are not the original printing, as pictured in the side panels on the previous pages, but larger sized, print-on-demand photocopies. For an original printing, try the Scott Joplin Foundation's Ragtime Store.


King of Ragtime is available at all bookstores in the paperback edition. I have a few remaining hard cover copies for sale. Email me for information.


Rhapsody Rag (Budd L. Cross, 1911), a "ragging the classics" parody of Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.

Dances from the 1910s, pictured on the backs of many sheets issued by ragtime publisher Jos. W. Stern.
