Re: online version of german klez-book

[Ari Davidow <ari...>]

Stefan,

This is great work! It also caused me to discover that I had never listed Ms.
Bauer's book in my print bibliography on the klezmershack
(http://www.klezmershack.com/contacts/klezwords.html#print).

Your observation concurs with what we discovered when I was at Addison-Wesley.
At least for now, and at least in those cases where we compared, posting a book
online seems to increase sales. It obviously also makes the information
available to a wider audience, which is also very neat.

vielen dank! In your honor I'll put up the German klezmershack logo!
