The Jazz Book Club (JBC) was a publishing project of Sidgwick & Jackson, a London-based publisher. Herbert Jones, the editor, and a distinguished panel, selected the works. Sixty-six issues, and various extras were published from 1956 to 1967.

Included here are ALL of the 48 volumens in the listing - beautiful books with dust-jacket In the below listing I have added "included" for those volumes present.

Warning. Shipping is app. 800 DKK to EU and 1800 DKK to the US as a parcel with tracking. I tried to reflect that in the listing.
