Hi

I would also buy one if it came my way at a reasonable price.  I don't think I've seen more than one copy of this - ever.  I gather that it's also somewhat dated now because of recent research - but I don't know of anything else that's been published on the subject.

Every Blessing

Abe Books has a number of copies ranging from a 'cheap' £75 to a more extravagant £205!  If one is feeling rich, or wins the Euro Lottery, it could be afforded.  It would also be useful to consider republishing with an updated section, so Elvin's fantastic account of H&H can find a new audience.

Thanks for the information Jonathan Im afraid thats a little out of my price range, my search will continue. I do wish Positif Press could do a facsimile version of it and also possibly do ones of the Rotunda as those were most interesting.

Best wishes

The copy of the Harrison Story by Elvin is now on my website (www.paulisom.com).  The book is in really excellent condition and still has it's dust cover (from memory, I think it's the purple one with St Clement Danes on the front).  I've checked prices against what I paid for it, and as far as I can see it's the cheapest available. 

We are on holiday until the 26th August and it will be despatched shortly after this.

First come first served!

P.S.  The book sales will shortly be moving to a new website www.secondhandorganbooks.weebly.com
P.P.S  If any clever boffins have any ideas about how I can effectively list the copies of the periodicals without having to do them laboriously one by one, I'd be grateful for some advice.

Now sold.

I have had a flurry of activity on the site this week and am gradually adding items.  I have a set of CDs which are rather unique - all by Jean-Jacques Kasel of Luxembourg.  He is a pupil of Guillou and has made a number of CDs, all on Guillou designed (or inspired) organ and built by Kleuker.  The exception is a rather fine instrument by Tambourini/Bonata.  The other two items are the superb collector's edition of the Organs of Luxembourg Volumes 1 and 2.  They come complete with CDs, specifications and colour photos of the organs and collector's edition stamps as well.  Please look at the website for more details.
