I can't remember if I have mentioned to members of MMD previously but
...  The Musical Box Society of Great Britain has recently published a
book called "Musical Box Tune Sheets" written by H.A.V. Bulleid, a well
known author with two previous books on cylinder musical boxes.

"Tune sheets are the only documents spanning the long lives of musical
boxes.  They are, so to speak, birth certificates."  So writes Anthony
Bulleid in his introduction.  Produced by the combined effort of
Anthony together with the Registrar of MBSGB who has catalogued
thousands of musical boxes.

This book brings together over 200 tune sheets, some in full colour,
together with detailed descriptions and dating charts.  A5 size,
150 + pages, soft back.  Price GBP 12 each plus postage: U.K. & Europe
GBP 2, rest of world GBP 4.  Please send to

  Mr. R. Kerridge   (Treasurer of MBSGB),
  32 Queens Road,
  Reading,
  Berkshire,

  ENGLAND

If you are quick you may be able to buy some copies in US dollars
from Nancy Fratti.

Other books and booklets are planned for the future, members always
get a chance to buy any hard back copies printed before they are
offered for general sale.  If you want details of MBSGB please see
