Faber editor-at-large and Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has made his first acquisition for the publisher.
Cocker signed world rights for Singing from the Floor by J P Bean, an oral history of British folk clubs, in a deal done directly with the author.
The title was recommended to Cocker by former Pulp guitarist and Mercury Prize-nominated musician Richard Hawley.
Faber will publish the book as a £20 trade paperback in April 2014.
