"Treasures of Mechanical Music"
By Susan Robinson

Hello!  Art Reblitz asked the following about the book "Treasures of
Mechanical Music".  Here's my two cents worth:

> 1. Who prefers to see "Treasures" redone to include all of the
> pictures that were in the first edition?

I would like to have all the pictures included. I find the pictures
very valuable.

> 2. Who would be happy just to have the technical information without
> the pictures?

Please, please leave the pictures IN. : >

> 3. Is there a preference for leaving everything in one handy volume,
> or having it broken down into several lower-cost sections?

I personally would appreciate one volume: easier to keep track of
everything, to find information, etc.

> Meanwhile, "The Golden Age of Automatic Musical Instruments," to be
> published later this year ...

May I ask who is publishing this and whether or not there is a waiting
list or some kind of mailing list to alert us to its release?  I would
be very interested in learning more about it. (Cost, availability,
content, etc...)

Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts!

Susan Robinson
