Excuse me if this has been stated -- but is the new reprint strictly a
replica of the original edition, or are there any additions, corrections,
or deletions?  I.e., is there any reason someone who already has a copy
should want this one (other than for when the first copy wears out)?

My guess is this is an exact replica, since a proper updating of this
landmark work would take years to do halfway right.

The new $80 price is excellent.  I paid at least that much two years ago
for an original, still in shrink wrap.  Now, if someone knows where I can
buy "Barrel Organs" reasonably.

 [ Editor's note:
 [
 [ The Encyclopedia is a new printing from the same plates as the
 [ previous 12 printings.  It should be as nice as before.  To my
 [ knowledge the book was never revised, therefore the new printing
 [ is identical to the first edition of 1972.  It's not a replica --
 [ it's the 13th printing of the Real Thing !
 [
 [ Speaking of "replica":  If Keystone Music Rolls produces new Ampico
 [ music rolls from the original masters (or sub-masters), should we call
 [ the product "new" or a "replica"?  What if Custom Music Rolls makes
 [ a roll which matches the 1920s version hole-for-hole, but without
 [ using a 1920s master roll?
