+AHw-If they do, I wish they would make it available to us dealers. All I've
+AHw-seen are glossy brochures about individual instrument types. There are
+AHw-even separate ones for pro-line and student instruments. No mention of
+AHw-price in any of them. There is a separate booklet with NO pictures and
+AHw-minimal description with retail prices listed. You MAY be able to get one
+AHw-from a dealer, or at least SEE one.

I was able to get a hold of a copy of their +ACI-Selmer Accessories Showbook+ACI-
1995 Edition just a few weeks ago, which had a list and a MSRP price on all
the items, all of which were outrageously overpriced, but they had the
prices, despite it being from 1995. This has been the only published price
book I've seen from Selmer, and although they were free from my local music
shop, it looked very much like one for a music retailer, not consumer.
