So what are you carping about? > by didn't Robert Spencer die quite a few years back? Indeed he has. But I have been around a lot longer than most of you, and Bob Spencer was a close personal friend with whom I have had many dealings. I bought from him not a small number of original editions, he bought from me many of the same (we basically exchanged some of the doubles we had). He was the person who provided me with photographs of his lyre guitar which were used in my article on the subject: "The Story of the Lyre-Guitar", in Soundboard XIV/4, in 1987-88 Winter, that later became the current entry in the New Grove on the lyre guitar and in which one of Bob Spencer's photographs is reproduced. > All the while insinuating that the company in the Netherlands > re-published the same legally or otherwise. That's a cheap shot. I insinuated nothing. Simply reported on what a search on the ABE data base brought. Take a look yourself: http://tinyurl.com/8xdrq I may be wrong that Reprint Services is a Dutch company, but that's entirely besides the point. >Hmmm, Matanya, anything to say for your defense? That you are obviously a not very competent troll. At least Ness is coming on with the air of presumed authority. You are demonstrating basic haplessness in thinking up idiocies. >If the book is no longer copyrighted, and if it - and this long >discussion - is at all related with the lute, You are exactly right. This has nothing to do with the lute. But perhaps you ought to address that complain to the person who has been starting these many guitar related threads here: Arthur Joseph-Ness Ph.D. The moment he stopped trolling this list with guitar related crap, I will stop reacting to them. There is no need for rehashing, for the hundredth time the same stupid arguments. >perhaps Matanya will share at least some of it with us online? I would strongly recommend to you going to the nearest library, and it should not be difficult for one who is in "Library Sciences", and check out the book. > For one thing it might help us follow his line of argumentation, > which I admit so far is totally lost on me.
