- Comments: The spine of a book is often the first to show signs of aging and frequent use, bearing the weight of repeated opening and closing. This wear might manifest as creases, cracks, or even partial detachment, but it also signifies that the book has been well-loved and thoroughly read. Such physical characteristics add a layer of history and character to the book, distinguishing it from pristine, untouched copies.

AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"In The Sound of the Dove, Beverly Bush Patterson explores one of the oldest traditions of American religious folksong: unaccompanied congregational singing in Appalachian Primitive Baptist churches. Using interviews, field observations, historical research, song transcriptions, and musical analysis, Patterson explores the dynamic relationship between singing and theology in these churches, the genesis of their musical practices, and the unexpectedly significant role of women in their conservative congregations. An hour-long audio recording of Primitive Baptist singing is available separately. "Patterson, Beverly B. is the author of 'Sound of the Dove Singing in Appalachian Primitive Baptist Churches' with ISBN 9780252070037 and ISBN 0252070038.
