Collector Jim Linderman has dedicated his life to finding unique objects that represent American culture, from folk art to popular culture, from pulp fiction to Delta Blues. His first book, Take Me to the Water, includes 75 sepia photographs (1890-1950) and a CD of rare gospel and folk recordings (1924-1940).

Featured artists include Washington Phillips, Carter Family, and Tennessee Mountaineers. Linderman's passion for collecting has saved important objects from being forgotten over time.
