191 pages, indexed, illustrated, bibliography. The book is ex library. The jacket was once covered with mylar, and a small section of the brown paper was attached to the boards. I have left as is. It's bumped at the head, with a short tear at the head of the spine; the flaps are clipped front and back, head and tail. The front end paper suffers from minor damage where the bar code and presumably a library label was removed. There is a cancelled stamp on the title page and again on the copyright one.; the remnant of a date due slip on back end paper and a library pocket on the back paste down. The issues are all aesthetic. Past the title page the body of the book is in excellent condition, clean, unmarked and solid. CONTENTS: Instruments: The viol; The lute; The violin; The classical guitar; The harpsichord; Restoration and conservation of historical musical instruments.

Store Description

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.
