Reprint of a classic! Reser's 1927 course was designed as a mail order course, providing one lesson per week. The students mailed the tests back and received written, personalized advice.

Also includes promotional material together with a banjo offering Reser intended for his students. The material presented is so self-explanatory and concise that this is an invaluable book for today's student as well as the historically inclined collector. Comb-bound. 202 pp.
