Good news! After at least two false starts (announced publication dates of September 2005 and February 2006 passed without the book arriving), Matthew Spring's "The Lute in Britain" is now available in paperback binding for only $45 US. http://www.amazon.com/Lute-Britain-History-Instrument-Oxford/dp/019518838 1/sr=8-1/qid=1157463438/ref=sr_1_1/102-2388635-7545709?ie=UTF8&s=books
Of course, the hardcover version is also still available for $282 . . . . Regards, Daniel Heiman To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
