	You wouldn't be able to give me the specifics on who is
publishing the facsimile, would you?

	I've looked at the Claire Polin book to try to figure out the
playing style, but I've also only been playing harp for the last year.
When I first looked at it, I had just started playing, and found it
very frustrating. I guess I should go back to it and put some more effort
into figuring the style out :)

	If you do get around to that, could I get a copy as well, _please_.

	I know Wash U. has a 1936 facsimile of the manuscript. What do
the Copyright rules say about making copies of long out of print texts
for personal use? (This is a question that has implications for more
than this thread...)
