Was the JIFSS (1904-39, 30 volumes) ever reprinted, or is it available in "on-demand" reprint format? I just recently purchased "Petrie's Complete Irish Music" (over 1500 tunes!), slightly scuffed, from Amazon for about $12. I have some xerox pages from JIFSS, and it's an incredible resource. I don't understand why it's not more widely available or why it's not been reprinted. Dover, get busy! As an aside, Google's attempt to digitize books is very frustrating. What you'll come up with is the *citation* of many books. Very few volumes-- if ANY-- are actually available in their entirety. DD
