In Digest 97.01.18 Jan Kijlstra cited this book:

   The Marvelous World of Music Machines
   Edited 1976 by Office du Livre, Freibourg
   (translation from "Musikautomaten und Mechanische
   Musicinstrumente" by James Underwood).

I have had a search going for six weeks to locate a copy of this book
(to purchase) and so far no luck.  Do any of you have a duplicate copy
that you'd be willing to sell?

Here is some additional information:

  Original Title: Musikautomaten und mechanische Musikinstrumente.
  Original Author: Heinrich Weiss-Stauffacher
 (James Underwood is the translator, I believe).
  Publisher: Kodansha International, Tokyo, 1976.

The publisher took it out of print in 1986.

Please reply directly to me if you have a copy you'd be willing to part
with, indicating the book's condition and your asking price.

Thanks,
