Special Wirebound version available only at BanjoTeacher.com

Click link to purchase the special order wire bound version of The Banjo Encyclopedia available only at BanjoTeacher.com! The publisher wasn't able to wire bound the Banjo Encyclopedia due to its size and other considerations. The Banjo Encyclopedia is perfect bound with a crease so you can flatten it out, but as a extra favor to my customers, I am having copies of The Banjo Encyclopedia wire bound for easier opening and use. If you prefer the wire bound version this will save you the trouble of having it done yourself and also save you money. One of my students paid 8.00 at Kinkos to have this done. We are selling them for only 3 additional dollars to cover the cost.

...Just a note to say thanks for writing the "Banjo Encyclopedia".   I have 6 other Banjo "How to" books and while they all had relevant material in them none had the over all structure and sequence that yours' does.  I have pretty much filed all the other books and am concentrating on working through the Banjo Encyclopedia exclusively.  My overall progress has just shot through the roof !  You have indeed paved the road to success for learning the banjo and the journey is fulfilling and exciting.  The advice you give is exceptional and I've found nothing to match in any other book I have and I have all the ones that are highly recommended.
Thanks Ross for providing an old Geezer like myself with a surefire path to success in learning the banjo.  I mention you and the website every chance I get.  Yours' I believe is the pinnacle method for learning the banjo.

Now that I see the qualities of this gentleman, I am REALLY looking forward to meeting him and thanking him for the effort it must have taken to put this together!….
