>Dear PTG Members,
>
>The Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, is planning to co-publish with
>NAMM, a book based on the exhibit, entitled "PIANO 300:  Celebrating Three
>Centuries of People and Pianos."  This book will be about 84 pages and will
>be lavishly illustrated in color. Individual sections correspond to the
>segments of the exhibit itself and an appendix will include the technical
>specifications of the individual pianos in the exhibit.
>
>PTG member, David Lamoreaux, RPT, has reviewed the book and finds it "very
>impressive." Mr. Lamoreaux states "there will be additional chapters with
>information on instruments that because of space limitations couldn't be put
>in the Piano 300 gallery but are representative of piano making in the US --
>such as spinet piano, the White House Steinway etc.."  "-- I would think a
>lot of folk would like to have this book and also buy copies to give to
>special clients."
>
>The Piano Technicians Guild has the opportunity to order a quantity of these
>books at a pre-publication discount. The final pricing to PTG members has
>not yet been set, but should be less than $18.
