| (I've only found 370 tunes)
That was the same joyce.zip file that I found on another
site a few days ago. I unzipped it, and found that there
were actually only 229 tunes (with 265 titles). I wonder if
the remaining 613 tunes have been transcribed, and if so,
where they might be hidden?
One curious thing was that searching turned up lots of claims that
the book was published in 1965, implying that there might be
copyright problems. But somehow this didn't seem quite right,
considering that Joyce died in 1914. That's a bit long for a
posthumous publication. Eventually I did turn up the fact that the
original book was published in 1873. So there shouldn't be any legal
worried in transcribing it.
I also checked with amazon.com and bn.com (Barnes Noble); both told
me that the book is out of print. This might just mean that their
databases don't know where to get it. The 1965 publication was by
Cooper Square Publishers in New York, and they have a web site
(www.coopersquarepress.com) with a search facility. It doesn't find
any matches for the title or author. Any idea whether it's still
being published, and if so, by whom?
