This latest publication is dedicated  to the preservation of  shaped-note singing in general  and to the regional tradition of singing from William Walker's 1873 Christian Harmony, using the unique system of notation designed by him. Other Folk Heritage Books include the 1994 reprint of the same book and four other books of regional interest.
