I have to jump in here to mention that Kent Cooper did write the bio 
part of that book, but the actual instructional part was written by 
Fred Palmer.

Fred is one of the finest practitioners of acoustic blues harp in the 
country, and is severely underappreciated, in my opinion... I'm happy 
to report he is quite alive and well --we played together just last 
week when he was visiting Santa Barbara and he sounded terrific, as 
always.

By the way, that particular book is sadly out-of-print and somewhat 
difficult to find these days -- but it does pop up on eBay about once 
a month... well worth locating.

cheers to all,

Tom Ball
