Still new-ish - so I hope this is the proper place to ask about this.
I'm looking for a copy of Ernest Ka'ai's The Ukulele, A Hawaiian Guitar and How to Play It - either the 1906 original, or the revised 1910 edition. Aw, hell. Even the 1916 would be of interest.
I'm sure original copies are scarce and expensive, but I'm wondering if anybody knows of (for example) later facsimile editions that may have been put out? I found one promising source online after a lot of searching, but my inquiry about purchasing never got a response.
I'm also a rare books collector and my usual channels in that field have turned up nothing. (Aside from amused smirks at the mention of the word "ukulele." What is it with people who don't play?)
I thought about posting this in the Marketplace, since I'm willing to pay a reasonable price for a copy, but that seems to be reserved for instruments and equipment.
Any suggestions deeply appreciated. Thanks, all
