I have a copy of this book that I bought at a used book store in Toronto.It was published in 1969.Of intrest are the chapters on aesthetics,acoustics with facts on "Psycho-physiology",history and appreciation of sonority.The chapters on the workshop would not be of much more than a passing intrest to an experienced maker.It is always nice to find a book to add to the collection of violin literature and this is a good scientific and artisitic volume.Perhaps a search at the U.of T. library might help to locate a copy.Let me know if you are interested.Cheers,J.A.

With the author name, date published, and title, I can see if I can get it via interlibrary loan and take a look. Thanks.
