[microsound] [OT] Pricing Harley's _Xenakis_

Ms. Robinson-

I recently enjoyed reading James Harley's book _Xenakis, His Life and
Music_ which is published by Routledge (ISBN: 0415971454).  I got my
copy through inter-library loan at CUNY from the University of New
Hampshire Library.

I considered purchasing a copy, but when I looked the work up on Amazon,
I was shocked to find it costs $85.  I'm assuming you don't have a lot
of confidence in its sales potential and are looking solely to a library
market.

As a student interested in music of the 20th century, and knowing others
who have similar interests, I can't help but think Routledge could do
quite well with a paperback edition in a mid-teens to low-twenty dollar
price tag.

Written work on Xenakis is very hard to find considering the interest in
his life and work.  I should think a treatment of broad scope such as
James Harley's would find an abundance of eager readers.

Best,

Charles Turner
