I've had a favourite search registered with eBay for over two years 
for this book.  In that time there has been only one hit, for the 
German version, and I let it go because I was hoping he'd reduce the 
price.

I now discover that finally the English version has been reprinted, 
with a rather silly cover.

I've just ordered it from Amazon and am looking forward to re-reading 
this classic for the first time in over 30 years.  I recommend it to 
you.  No doubt, as with Wolfenden's book, I can expect to find a few 
falsehoods in it with the benefit of hindsight, but it is a book that 
had great influence in the days when pianos were well made and 
sounded good.
