Hardcover copy of "The Tuba Handbook" by J. Kent Mason, copyright 1977. I forget exactly where I got it, but it's a former library book and appears(?) to possibly be this person's doctoral dissertation (or part of it)?
Either way, a neat book with 107 pages of classic 1970s-ish tuba information, and a few photos:
History
Breathing
Embouchure
Tonguing
Fingering
Tuning
Warm-ups
Mouthpiece Practice
Care
Buying a Tuba
Buying a Mouthpiece
Choosing a Tuba Student
Literature
Overall in great shape, but the first page has a tear in it.
$75

I should advise you before you purchase: I don't think this book is edible.
