Yes, it's a new book, recently released by Joel. His posting should be
easily findable in the list archives (easiest way to access those is
to go to the search button at
   http://www.ivritype.com/resources/jlists.html#jewish-music
)

But, here is the info he posted in that message:

Mazltov!: Jewish-American Wedding Music from the Repertoire of Dave Tarras
for Clarinet (Bb or C) or other Melodic Instruments
Revised and edited by Joel Rubin

Schott (Mainz/London/Madrid/New York/Paris/Tokyo/Toronto)
ISMN M-001-12146-0

Mazltov! contains detailed melodic transcriptions (with chords) from the
acclaimed CD by Joel Rubin with the Epstein Brothers Orchestra (recipients
of the 1998 National Heritage Fellowship): "Zeydes un Eyniklekh
(Grandfathers and Grandsons). Jewish-American Wedding Music from the
Repertoire of Dave Tarras" (Schott Wergo SM 1610-2). Also included in the
publication is the first available detailed essay on ornamentation and
other aspects of klezmer performance style (in English and German). While
originally conceived for clarinet, the pieces can be adapted for any melody
instrument and arranged for any instrumental combination. Mazltov! provides
the best possible introduction to the music of the "King of Klezmer", Dave
Tarras (1897-1989).
