A collection of interviews and oral histories with barbers and their customers. Ranges from funny to poignant to wise. Reveals the inner spirit and the importance to the community of the "black country club."

Salsabrarian | Feb 2, 2016 |

The author of Crowns and Spirit of Harlem and Columbia journalist, Craig Marberry, criss-crossed America to find the fellowship of men in barber shops (which almost always spell "barbershop" with two words). Brings the chorus of voices together. High quality production with sepia photographs. (
