Re: Schillinger, anyone?

Last I checked, I could only find it at Amazon.com for an equally
jaw-dropping price. Luckily, the music library at the university where
I did my graduate studies has a copy, and since I live within a
half-hour (and work within 5 minutes) of it, I can usually check it
out on a whim. For now, it suffices. At least until I can justify the
$140 for vol 1.


Incidentally, I just ran a froogle.com search and came up with some
used sets as well as new sets. Didn't see any for vol. 1 alone.

Good luck with the search.

Cheers,

Jon Southwood
