Re: "Treasures of Mechanical Music"
By Joyce Brite

This book was mentioned recently as being on everyone's wish list.
Somewhere along the line the title was changed to "Treasury ..." in the
MMD, and that threw me off.

The book is in my local library :-)  I checked it out and it's sitting
right in front of me now.  Eat your heart out!

For those of you trying to find this book through book locator services,
the correct information is:

Authors:  Arthur A. Reblitz and Q. David Bowers
Title:    Treasures of Mechanical Music
Subtitle: A compilation of hundreds of tracker bar, key frame, and note
          layouts for automatic music machines, together with historical
          and technical information and a collectors' portfolio of
          outstanding mechanical musical instruments
Copyright:  Vestal, New York: The Vestal Press, Ltd., 1981,  630 pages
ISBN:     0-911572-20-1

This information, especially the ISBN, should help others locate the book
more easily.  (ISBN = International Standard Book Number)
