Wow ... an even 90. And I paid about $30 for the lot.
MORE: Eric ... do you think the W. Oliver Strunk who wrote Source readings in music history from classical antiquity through the romantic era is your Oliver Strunk?
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
ReplyDeleteIs 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
