I'd like to buy a new or used copy of Dan Pliskow's "Jazz Bass Lines," preferably one that isn't indelibly marked up too bad. Thanks.
Edited July 28: Since posting the above, I managed to find a copy at "Libreria BIRDLAND JAZZ," somewhere in Italy. They apparently have no English at all because the order form was entirely in Italian. What an adventure! After providing me with a drop-down box containing the names of every country on earth, they also provided me with a different drop-down box that insisted that I select my province in Italy from a list of about 100 provinces. If I didn't, the form would not process my order. So, I selected a province that produced the abbreviation "CA" in my address line, just like California.
Anyway, after getting an email from them asking for my address "for expedition" (which I supplied again) I got another email from them saying they had shipped my order. Many thanks to

That is one nice online tool, if you are ever in a fix like this one.
Anyway, if you have a copy of Dan Pliskow's Jazz Bass Lines, don't throw it away. I'm not altogether confident that I'm going to get what my friends in Italy sent me.
