Hi Judy!

Thanks for asking.  I didn't want to "push a product", but they must be
useful to a lot of people because the Cantors Assembly has sold almost
a thousand sets already.

They come in two forms:  a Student Set of 4 x 5 computer-graphic cards
                        on heavy card-stock, with the trope over or
                        under a rectangle representing a word, and the
                        name in Hebrew and transliteration on the back;
                        there is a sheet of "Trope Families" set up in
                        the basic "clauses" and the "ornamental" extras,
                        and a sheet of "Trope Family Variations" with
                        all the usual subsets of the basic clauses.

        The Teacher Set has all the above, with the cards 8 x 10 for
                        classroom use; in addition to the above sheets
                        there is a dense sheet of background info with
                        a short Bibliography, and also 6 strips of card
                        stock with the basic clauses set up for class-
                        room teaching or tutoring.

Both sets are published by the Cantors Assembly, and may be obtained
from them or from Tara Publications.  Tara's address is well known,
but for those who need it, here is the CA address:

        Cantors Assembly
        3080 Broadway                           (212) 678-8834
        Suite 613       (really!)                fax: 662-8989
        New York, NY                            caoffice (at) jtsa(dot)edu
                    10027

Both Tara and the CA sell the sets for the same price, and there are
good savings when they are bought in "bundles":

        Teacher Set alone  =  $10.00

        Student Sets:     1  -  9  sets =  $4.00 each
                          10 - 19  sets =  $3.50 each
                          20 - 29  sets =  $3.00 each

                          30  or more   =  $2.50 each
Combination Packs:

                Teacher Set plus 10 Student Sets @ $3.50 each  =  $45.00
  best buy!  -  Teacher Set plus 20 Student Sets @ $3.00 each  =  $65.00
                Teacher Set plus 30 Student Sets @ $2.50 each  =  $85.00
