World's million dollar collection in book form for the first time Move over guitar collectors, it is time for the drummers. Now, one of the world's most valuable collections of vintage snare
drums is presented in a beautiful, full-color gift book. This snare drum collector's market is heating up and it is becoming the next area of interest of music historians and instrument
collectors. Highlights include: * The book features 85 of the rarest vintage snare drums from Curottos' collection of over 420. The drums are gold plated/engraved, silver plated/engraved and
black engraved snare drums with the addition of a "Future Collectable" section. This is the premier collection in the world, presented in a book for the first time. * Every snare gets a
complete historical description on all facets of its components and the back-story on its creation and where it was "found" before Curotto acquired it. * Brands covered include the most famous
manufacturers including Ludwig, Slingerland, Gladstone, Leedy, Gretsch and Wurlitzer. * Foreword and text is edited by editor of Not-So-Modern-Drummer magazine, John Aldridge. * Photographed
with the highest-quality digital camera, the images are gorgeous in detail and lighting. Great gift book.
