According to my 1996 Dover catalogue, it does. Also, if you're *in* New
York, they have a place in the village at 180 Varick Street, 9th floor,
open M-F 9-4:30. Here you can look through their entire collection, and
find damaged copies of these scores for 1/2 price. You need to carefully
examine the copies. Some of the damage is as slight as a "hurt" from
shipping, and some includes missing/misordered pages, or bad printing
(double image on a few pages). But for the most part, the 1/2 price
scores are just fine, and even cheaper than the normal price. Of course,
if you love books, you'll spend lots of time, not to mention a fortune!!
