A Fantastic Read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If you're a piper, Irish, Scottish, or just love the Celtic culture, "The Book of the Bagpipe" is a great book to own! It's full of information about the history of the great Highland bagpipes, bagpipe music, and bagpipers. This book also contains information on other types of bagpipes, but keeps the Highland bagpipe as it's main focus. The pictures and illustrations in "The Book of the Bagpipe" are excellent, a great portrayal of Celtic culture. The bibliography can be found at the back of the book, and the resources are absolutely amazing. Overall, "The Book of the Bagpipe" is full of great poetry and pictures and is put together by Hugh Cheape in such a delightful manner that I rate it as one fantastic read!*Tiffany*

This pretty, little gem of a book is a great gift for the piper or Scot-o-file in your family, especially if that person is you. Cheape delivers a basic FAQ on pipes and piping, but it's the lavish illustrations that make the book special. Cheape gives ample space to pipes from other parts of the world besides the British Isles. If you ever visit Glasgow, Scotland, visit the museum at the Piping Centre. Cheape designed and installed this museum.
