[CAUT] Hardness of termination vs string breakage (was Re: restrung D)

[Dave Davis]

Ed told me last year that he still has some for sale. I think they're about $100 plus shipping. You can try e-mailing him toneman at cmc.net.

Hi Ted,
    Ed McMorrow's book has been out of print for maybe 20 years (or, more
accurately, it was printed once about 20 years ago and not since, at least
to the best of my knowledge). A few years back I thought I'd like to get
hold of a copy. No Luck. I just checked the internet, and found you can get
a "rare" copy for $150 - $250.
