Cover photo of Pete Seeger is also by the author * Foreword by JibJab co-founders Gregg and Evan Spiridellis * More Folk, an appendix of selected Resources (a comprehensive guide to books, Web sites, instructional materials, camps, radio, children's material, record labels, organizations, museums, etc.) * Listening Space, an appendix identifying 75 influential or representative recordings spanning the history of folk from the author's perspective
