And our "bible," "The American Dance Band Discography," sold as a 2-volume
set for $35! In fact, I bought another set at a CAPS meeting about 20 years 
ago
for that price; I'm not sure if I still own that copy, but I bought another 
set at the
recent Badrock estate auction; IIRC that cost be over $100.

I'm hoping to be able to afford the new edition later this year; I'm just 
hoping the
new version includes all the changes I had in my (now lost) 
heavily-annotated
copies. I had gazillions of notes in my own copy...and bought another 
heavily-
annotated copy from Bill Frase c. 1980 or so. Both are now long gone, thanks
to my landlady's "clean-up drive" (?!?!).
