I'm posting this for Bert Turetzky, (my teacher). Bert has a small number of copies of his book "The Contemporary Contrabass", which he is selling. This book has been hard to get, as it has been out of print for a while. Bert would be happy to autograph/inscribe the book for anyone who would like to purchase it.
Bert is selling the book for $125. There are two used copies available on Amazon, for $199.95:
http://www.amazon.com/contemporary-c.../dp/0520022912 Amazon's editorial describes the book as: "It is both scholarly and inspiring, definitive and comprehensive; a milestone in the search for new timbres which is the cornerstone of Turetzky's philosophy, at the same time futuristic and deeply traditional."
If you are interested please pm me and I can put you in touch with Bert.
Jim
