Just to let readers of MMD know that my book, "Mechanical Music",
published by Shire Publications here in UK, is expected to go out of
print in the next few months.  There are only a couple of hundred
copies left now out of 4,500 printed.  Shire have said that this edition
will NOT be re-printed once sold out.

This book is an ideal Christmas present: it is 32 pages long and gives
an insight to all types of automatic musical instruments, including a
list of many societies and museums which can be joined or visited by
those who wish to find out more.  There are over 50 illustrations.
The price is 3.50 GBP including postage to UK addresses.

I can supply 10 copies or more post free to some countries (on a slow
service).

I am happy to receive payment in other currencies such as USA dollars;
please ask.
