I encourage you to Request Accordion Revolution at local and academic Libraries. Most Libraries appreciate requests and have easy request forms on their websites. Simply search online for “Request a book, your library name,” and fill it out.

Photo of books on bookshelf: Includes Accordion Revolution, and a dozen other books referenced in my bibliography. Including: See You At the Hall, Puro Conjunto, The Quest of the Folk, Musica Norteña, The Accordion in the Americas, Musicians Traditionnels du Québec

Suggesting books is a wonderful way to support authors and get books in the hands of more readers:

You’ll probably only need a few of the following:

Excerpt from the Accordion Revolution ebook. Text: “The Scholars of Squeeze
Especial Thanks To
Jared Snyder, who has made the old pre-blues African American accordion one of the most well-researched forgotten traditions in American music. The Highlander Center in Tennessee, which suffered a terrible fire as this book went to press. Their archive provided the photo of Zilphia Horton included in Chapter 15. This history is so important, and so fragile. Please support them: www.highlandercenter.org. And my unofficial research assistants, the Vancouver Public Library, with the miraculous international Inter-Library Loan system.”

Tell them it’s fancily-designed, affordable, and credits librarians as research assistants 📚 👀

Thank your librarian for me!

Advertisement for the Cordovox electronic organ accordion. Never quite caught on. Though one band that started out with an accordionist did almost play Woodstock.
Alice Hall seen here with her “finto piano” accordion that looks like it has three rows of piano keys. But really it is a three-row chromatic button accordion disguised as a piano accordion.
