I bought and imported me a copy of Tony Glover's "Blues Harp" from the US.

While flipping through the book after receiving it I noticed that I was looking at the same pages I already saw before in the book: I got a copy that's faulty, repeating pages 41 to 56 but missing pages 25 to 40 (http://i.imgur.com/jBajkzo.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/ex1E3Bu.jpg).

So, I'm kinda lucky although unlucky - while it's in really good condition despite its age and a very special copy which might be worth something to a collector, I'm missing pages to have a book that's complete. Which is why I'm posting:

Would someone of you be able to help me out with the pages my book is missing?

Even if somebody sends you scans of the missing pages it will always be a pain to use the book with those pages loose. Return it, and then look for a copy on bookfinder dot com, they list new and used books. (They list a number of copies available from sellers in the UK if that's where you are.)

Using scans is still better than not having the pages.

I could take photos of the pages for you Eric. Where in the world?
I mean, it's unlikely you are gonna learn much from studying the book, so I think the irritation from 'using it' will be minimal, but it's a fun read. And a chunk of blues harp history.

Sure, I know all this - I just want to read it for exactly what you've written :-)
Thank you!

Also you can stream or purchase the audio on Amazon (guessing that you don't have the record or it's pretty beat up):

https://www.amazon.com/Blues-Harp-Instruction-Playing-Harmonica/dp/B000S57ALE/ref=sr_1_1?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&qid=1495319487

And there are some notes of interest on Pat Missin's site:

(Adam probably has these links somewhere on this site.)

I got lucky. I found a decent copy from a Amazon vendor. It's old and yellow and shows it's age, but it's all there.
