Anthony,
it would have been nice to bid against each other ;-)
But this is the ridiculous part of this story: for all what we are
writing, there is a market out there. Somebody just needs to take it...
I still believe the net could change a number of things. There are
already a good number of fac simile on the net and I imagine in this
situation they will continue to grow.
Best,
Luca

At least you may be relieved that this one does not seem to
actually exist. It disappeared almost on the instant Peter mentionned it.
I would have bid also for your ebay copy. I was looking for an
American address that I could have had it sent to, they would not post
it to Europe.
Had I bid, it would have been even more expensive, for either of us.
This is not the only work that is in this peculiar state. The VAUDRY
DE SAIZENAY manuscript has been announced as a froth coming reprint
for the last four years.
It is of similar status as the Ness, to Baroque musicians, but
everyone is having to settle for photocopies. I wrote to Minkoff about
it but got no reply whatever.
Regards
Anthony

Dear friends,
it's crazy. I cannot figure out why a decent 2nd edition could not be
re-issued!
I bought in the US the copy auctioned on eBay last week and ended up
paying:
- US$ 102,50 for the book
- US$ 36 for USPS Shipping (rather expensive, isn't it?)
- EUR 14 in Western Union commissions (the seller doesn'a ccept
PayPal
and I cannot blame him...), in US$ is about another 22 bucks.
Total: more than US$ 160
If there is a continuous market for this edition (and we all know
there
IS), it would be nice to *FINALLY* see a reprint.
