This book is huge! Its heavy and large. Did i mention its huge! Wow! Now, where do i keep this thing! It is a real beautiful book and the banjos are unbelievable. Its mind boggling that anyone could aquire that many gorgeous high end banjos! I am speechless!

I recently acquired a copy of the big book and it's difficult for a regular guy like me to comprehend the extent of his collection. It would be interesting to know the value of his instruments (banjos, guitars, mandolins, etc.) at the peak of his collection. Enjoy!

	Extraordinary Ukuleles Linked by RTWhite 10 years ago: And one more random look in Akira Tsumura's "Extraordinary Ukuleles." My hand is normal size, so that gives you an idea how small the book is.
	Extraordinary Ukuleles Linked by RTWhite 10 years ago: Also from Akira Tsumura's "Extraordinary Ukuleles." It actually discusses the fact that "One Thousand and One Banjos" would be released shortly.
	Extraordinary Ukuleles Linked by RTWhite 10 years ago: Here's a book I only became aware of recently. It's pretty small, but it's neat.
