For most of his life, collector Jim Linderman has searched high and low for authentic things'?unique and special objects that define the artistic culture of the American experience. From folk art to popular culture, from pulp fiction to Delta Blues'? Jim is a walking authority on so many things American they are too numerous to mention.

One thing is certain'? his collecting interests are for things that have fallen through the cracks, those things lost and forgotten'?the box of material under the table at the flea market booth. If it wasn't for dedicated collectors like Jim Linderman'? so many important objects about our culture would have surely been lost to time and indifference.

Take Me to the Water: Immersion Baptism in Vintage Music and Photography 1890-1950 is Linderman's first book. The 96-page hardcover book (8.75 x 6 inches) has 75 sepia photograph reproductions from 1890-1950 and is accompanied by a CD of rare gospel and folk recordings from original 78-RPM records (1924-1940).

It features recordings of artists like Washington Phillips, Carter Family, Tennessee Mountaineers, and lesser known and rare groups like the Belmont Silvertone Jubilee Singers, a vocal quartet in 1939.

Included as well are rare vocal recordings of sermons and preaching which highlight the fervor leading up to the moment of cleansing one's soul in immersion baptism. '? John Foster, Accidental Mysteries
