17 Aug 06 - 08:54 PM (#1812702) Subject: Seeking Chasse - Maree chantey books From: Peter Kasin Does anyone know of a U.S. distributor for the 5 volume series of French chantey books published in France by Chasse-Maree? Didn't see one on a net search. You might be a better net searcher, though. Or, does anyone have any used copies you're willing to sell? Thanks, 'Catters, for any info. best, Chanteyranger |

18 Aug 06 - 08:12 AM (#1812917) Subject: RE: Seeking Chasse Maree chantey books From: Q (Frank Staplin) I think Chanteyranger is looking for a specific set of their books. Only one offering at Abebooks may fit what he is looking for- Musique bretonne, 1996, by a French bookseller, at $101.74. (Found by keywords Chasse Maree, chanson) |

18 Aug 06 - 11:46 AM (#1813012) Subject: RE: Seeking Chasse Maree chantey books From: GUEST,Chanteyranger Thanks, folks! I've already checked Abebooks and bookfinder.com, but prices can be prohibitive. Q, I think you meant "Friends of the San Francisco Maritime Library." I occasionally check their sale shelf, but haven't found them. Since you've seen something about them there, I'll ask over there. Thanks for the heads-up.You got it, Joe. The library friends is affiliated with the park. I had the same reaction; "How did I miss that?" What I'm looking for is a U.S. distributor, or, if not available, any 'Catters (or anyone you know) looking to sell any. Thanks again. Chanteyranger |

They have quite a selection of Chasse-Maree. One of them is Chants de marines, Michel Colleu, at $46.71 Canadian. |

18 Aug 06 - 03:12 PM (#1813202) Subject: RE: Seeking Chasse Maree chantey books From: GUEST,Melani I'm on it, Chanteyranger, and will let you know what I find, though I suspect what we have is something different than chantey books. Instead of just looking at the shelf when you come over, try going to our website (maritimelibraryfriends.org), where there is a direct link at the bottom of the homepage to our site on abebooks.com. Then you can easily search our inventory for specific titles, etc. Also, for all you folks who buy from Amazon, there is a link to them at the bottom of our homepage. If you go to the Amazon site through our link and buy anything new, we get 5% at no cost to you. It's a good cause; the Library Friends support one of the finest maritime collections in the country. |

Q, you hit paydirt with the Canadian Amazonians. I found some volumes on their site and will order. Makes me want sing "Oh, Canada," but I'll spare my friends. Thanks very much! Chanteyranger |

18 Aug 06 - 04:57 PM (#1813264) Subject: RE: Seeking Chasse Maree chantey books From: GUEST,Melani I just checked--what we have listed are magazines, not chantey books. But they're really great, full-color boat magazines! |

18 Aug 06 - 08:12 PM (#1813400) Subject: RE: Seeking Chasse Maree chantey books From: Q (Frank Staplin) Anyone looking for French books go to Amazon.ca; most will be handled by Amazon.ca and not by Amazon.com. The same is true of DVD's. |

18 Aug 06 - 08:40 PM (#1813412) Subject: RE: Seeking Chasse Maree chantey books From: Q (Frank Staplin) Some French is a help in searching Amazon.ca. Eleven titles are listed as 'chants de marins'; and only five for 'chantey' (all in English). 'Shanties' produces Hugill's books (not found with chantey) and a lot on building shelters. |

18 Aug 06 - 11:27 PM (#1813536) Subject: RE: Seeking Chasse Maree chantey books From: Peter Kasin I just ordered the 4 volumes of the Chasse-Maree series, "Cahiers de Chants de Marins" from Amazon.ca. Thank you, Q! Chanteyranger |
