Photocopies would, of course, be breaking the international copyright laws ...

That's not entirely true. University Microfilms, in Ann Arbor, MI, sells reprints of out-of-print books copied from microfilm. The finished copies are essentially Xeroxes. They are not inexpensive. I purchased a magnetic devices textbook from them several years ago - it cost about $150! Nevertheless, they do it all legally -- they pay royaties -- and it is one way to get older texts. You might also try Amazon.com's out-of-print service.

Photocopies are illegal unless permission is granted by the publisher. The person asking for photocopies didn't make this distinction - or they would have already contacted the publisher.

Glenn Bowens book has been "out of print" for years. He only had a few copies available here in Madison as he wrote it while completing his doctorate at Eastman School of Music in 1965--perhaps they would have a copy in their library. He gave me a one-sheet summary of the essentials of his reed adjustment methods (as he did with all his more recent students) which shows where one should "shave" to reed for various results given commercail reeds out of the box. Correct balancing of the reed to your mp is the heart and soul of his adjustment techniques. He also recommended sanding and "glazing" the back of the reed to balance and seal it properly. His book, as I recall, also went more into the making of a reed from the blank stage (all his students after his doctorate days had to make their own) and he always recommended that when playing commercial reeds (he always recommended VDs), one start with the hardest reed available and work it down to your own personal specs and mp. FYI--Glenn is far better know among those of us here in Madison for his supperb mp adjustment skills accummulated from a lifetime study of all of his students personal mouthpiecies. Every year, he would collect lay, chamber and vamp measurements and keep them in a file along with notes about how those particualr mps played. His customized mps play like no others I have every tried--Pyne, Bay, Smith, Kaspar, Hawkins, etc. Unfortunately, as of this e-mail, he has not collected his thoughts on mp adustment in a book. Enough ramblings--Good luck.

After-though: Ben Armato's book on reed adjustment is also of great help. He also goes into other thoughts such as clarinet adjustments of the barrle and bell joints that I found very helpful. Good luck, and Enjoy!!!!!

Try used book stores, if you haven't already. I used to see that Opperman booklet prominently displayed by the registers on music store counters. I think a lot of copies of that sold, because it's been through many printings. I've seen it mixed in with the sheet music or on the shelves with the books about music, in a lot of used book stores. IMHO, that's a very good booklet, with clear diagrams.

I know that Kalmen Opperman's book on reedmaking is supposed to be reprinted very soon (if it hasn't already!) Last summer he talked about Carl Fisher (I think) reprinting it. If anyone finds it, let us know! I'd like a copy too.

I have these books and have emailed you regarding getting them to you.
BTW, my husband who is a librarian says that it is legal to photocopy a book in the U.S. if: 1) it is out of print, and 2) you have made a "good faith" all-out search that is unsuccessful. I don't know how one would prove this, but I'm not terribly worried about being busted, frankly.... so don't turn me in, okay, Mark?

Good faith includes paying $20/hr for a copyright search at the US Library of Congress. All that does is protect you from a lawsuit should the copyright owners come forward. If the copyright is established then you're still liable for the fees. In the case of this book, the copyright owner is known, and fees for reprint can be negotiated with the copyright holder.
While I really can't turn you in, I feel very strongly about stealing from authors , composers and their heirs. The length of the copyright term is getting ridiculous, but that's a different problem.
