Manual Of Style

Post by Harry Bohay »

Hi everyone, I'm looking to track down Winnie Winston's sophomore book, haven't found any leads, is it still being published, and if not can anyone suggest where I might obtain it second hand?

Thank you!

Hello Harry:

Winnie Winston's "Manual of Style" is a rare find. I have seen them on Advanced Book Exchange (abe.com) and on eBay once in a while. I have seen them priced as high as $150.00.

Personally, I did not find it as helpful as Winnie's first book,"Pedal Steel Guitar." However, it does have quite a lot of interesting and helpful information. The review of Jimmie Crawford's "Crawford Cluster" was enlightening, IMHO. Plus, it covered a lot of ground on the topic of copedents, in general. It used the MU-SYM Tab system, which is, again IMHO, the most complete and thorough PSG tab method out there.

I can imagine a copy will show up now that you have expressed an interest. It is well worth the read.
