Synopsis
Who can't remember their first trip to the barbershop? The silvery clip of scissors, the scent of talcum and tonic, the game blaring on the radio, and the lazy rhythms of friendly conversation? If you've been to a great barbershop, you know it. when you walk in, it's like you never left. And when you leave, you can't wait to get back. In his marvelous new volume, "Do Bald Men Get Half-Price Haircuts?," Vince Staten captures the history, the craft, and the humor that have made the barbershop a classic fixture on the American landscape. Come in for a haircut and settle down for a chat -- about the new baseball coach, local politics, the meaning of life. As Staten reminds us, the barbershop's wonders lie above all in the pleasures of talk, and as such it's the social heart of many a small town. Staten visited more than three hundred barbershops -- most of them in small towns, from Chowchilla, California, to Mount Airy, North Carolina. (And that's a lot of time in a barber chair for a manwith almost no hair.) The result is a gabfest of barbershop lore, history, and laughs. Grab a chair and listen to the banter in a family-run Ita
