and spirited mixture of cssays, theoretical contributions, practicat
instructions, and pure encyclopedia articles. It is a very well put together
book, u ritten by eighteen researchers who have something to say.The

entire book is a large stock-taking that shows how far the niore or less established study of folk culture in the United States has come. And the book demonstrates with great clarity that this study is an independent subject, which is characterized by its areas of subject matter." — lorn Rio, Journal of American Folklore

Księgarnia i antykwariat MUSAION oferuje publikacje nowe i używane o znacznym walorze poznawczym opierające się upływowi czasu znacznie dłużej niż w przypadku książek z nauk ścisłych czy przyrodniczych. Stąd też w ofercie, obok książek nowych, znajdują się np. wydania źródeł, leksykony, opracowania wydane kilka /niekiedy kilkanaście/ dekad temu wciąż wykorzystywane przez profesjonalistów.

Oferta obejmuje publikacje renomowanych wydawców przeznaczone dla wymagających klientów: miłośników sztuki, naukowców, studentów i profesjonalistów, stąd też dbałość o obecność wartościowych tytułów w katalogu. Dzięki kontaktom z wydawnictwami możliwe jest uzyskanie niższej ceny.
