CURRENCY

• Published in 1981 book is not up to-date on the
  newest and latest artists , but to a real blues

  blues and the older artists, that will not matter.

Format.Hardcover paperback

• PERSONAL IMPRESSION.I though I would really
  love this book and I did enjoy the pictures but
  some of the biographies were difficult to read
  because of the way they were written. Even
  with that I would recommend this book to a blues
  lover.

REVIEW.Barnes Noble

• Rarely has a book received such unanimous praise
  as the Blues Whos Who. Eighteen years of
  research and writing, most of it done by Sheldon
  Harris alone, has produced a reference book that
  has been accepted in the U.S., England, and
  Europe, as truly indispensable for anyone
  seriously interested in the history of
  country,city, folk, and rock blues.
