This is a rare edition of the Vaudeville Artist Directory. I see 1928 all the time but not this one. It has all the Vauldeville stars, and the focus this year was the minstrels, including Al Jolsen

Awesome book! You should post a few more pics!
I will. I haven't had it for very long and all 300 odd pages are packed with pictures.
My great grandfather was in Vaudeville for a time, very cool!
What years would that of been? He might be in here
A rare volume, the National Vaudeville Artists Year Book, 1927 (New York: Isaac Goldmann Company, [1927]), approx. 300pp (un-paganated), 310x235 mm. illustrated and titled wraps. Copiously illustrated with patron advertisements, a veritable who's who in the waning days of vaudeville.

So stinking rare I have no idea what they are worth. The 1928 seem to easy enough to come by. and I'm not joining Worth.com to find out :P
Hmm, it had to have been the 1920s, maybe the early 30s.
You don't have to, one sold in 2008 for 285.00 on ebay. I found a 1924 that brought 325.00 lasy yr. Dave :p
Nice!!! Thanks Dave! I might have to let this bad boy go.
Thanks so much Dave. I searched through every single rare book site and didn't find any of these, only 1928. I didn't see "24" either. Very cool.
My dad says he thinks my great grandfather was still doing Vaudville then. Albert Carrier, on the off chance he is in there.
