Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments

Published in 1972 by The Vestal Press of New York. Printed in hardcover, this book weighs in at over 1,008 pages with hundreds of black-and-white photographs, advertisements, and reproduction company brochures.
I don't own this book, but it is highly-rated by buyers and reviewers on Amazon.

I have a copy of this book in excellent condition. I don't think I will ever own one of these instruments, so I am ready to sell this book. Interested? Contact me sberr@bee.net
