Re: What are the best research websites?

    Being that Ari is confused let me clarify which volume I am referring to. 
The large, 8.5 by 11 inch volume. The smaller but thicker volume is Old 
Jewish Folk Music, original released in English in 1982 by the University of 
Pennsylvania Press, now reprinted by Syracuse (new edition ISBN 
0-8156-2868-4), and this time around is only in paper back. This new volume 
is entitled Jewish Instrumental Folk Music and is available in both cloth 
(ISBN 0-8156-3890-0) and paperback (0-8156-0691-5). 
    Old Jewish Folk music has the first two sections of a planed five volume 
work; Jewish Folk Music (1934), and Jewish Folk Song (1962). Jewish 
Instrumental Folk Music is only what would have been the third volume. This 
volume was never before published in full, an abridged section of this work 
was published in the Soviet Union in 1987. It supersedes the klezmer material 
in the earlier volume.
    I will be writing a review for the web site so that you can understand 
what the subject matter of this volume includes.

That would be dynamite! Although remember that the Beregovski is actually a 
reprint of an edition originally published by University of Pennsylvania 
Press in 1982. Only the cover has been changed.
