Subject: RE: I'm Looking for a Set of Bronson
The Heritage Muse CD-rom and Audio CD appear to have come out in 2002 - cost $125 for individual use - seems like a lot of money for a couple of bits of plastic, but when you think of the work that went into the project, and compare with the current price of the original volumes, it's got to be a bargasin. I got my Child Ballad set in the early seventies - Dover edition @ £2.50/volume - though when I was in New York in 1979, the Dover reject shop had them at half that!. The Bronsons took longer. A bookseller in Blackpool found me the first two volumes for about £20 each, volume 4 appeared somewhere years later and my friend Debby McClatchy found volume three on offer at a festival in the States. She had to fight for it, and has my eternal gratitude for doing so!
