Dennis: I think so. His dates match those on his tombstone that I photographed: http://www.spolia.it/online/it/argomenti/musica/2001/strunk.htm
Is your 'Source Readings' all one volume? At the sale here they had, I think, 3 separate paperback volumes--antiquity, baroque, and classical.
wow, 90 books for $30? you can't beat that without a stick.
i'm not even sure you could beat it with a stick. It would have to be a pretty big stick, in any case.
One hardbound volume, and it appears to be the first edition.
I just checked the title page and the author is given as Oliver Strunk. The W. must've come from the Library of Congress data when I entered the book in LibraryThing.
The book spans from Plato to Wagner in about 900 pages.
