syr Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I have a book in my home library - a numbered edition by Raffaele Carrieri, La Danza In Italia 1500 - 1900. Is this just a quirky possession - or, is it a quirky possession that, should I wish to gift, donate, or sell it sometime in the future, would be of interest to a particular type of school, library, person, etc??? All in Italian, many portraits, drawings, and photos - dancers, costumes, sets, etc. Thanks for any comments and info. Link to comment
BW Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Syr, I am truly pleased that you posted this here...but am wondering if the bibliophiles on that What are you reading now thread http://64.247.33.2/~atom/forum/showthread....s=&postid=56785 might have some info for you? Since it's been so slow, I bet your post will catch a few eyes... Here's hoping for your find being a "rare" one! Link to comment
vrsfanatic Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 I think it sounds like an interesting book. I would be interested to buy it! When was it published? I do have an extensive ballet book library. None in Italian though. It would be a nice addition! Buon divertimento! Link to comment

syr Posted October 9, 2002 Author Share Posted October 9, 2002 ah, thanks for responses so far - I especially appreciate the description that came with Mel's post ......my thought is to hold onto it for a few more years in case dancer-daughter wants it for her library when she is a little older and ceases to be a migrant student .... and then see, but I did want to get a sense of how such a book is regarded. (Meanwhile, there are 10 available at abesbooks.com of various conditions and prices should anyone want it for their library right now) To me it seemed especially a treasure for a costume designer, for example, as there are so many pictures of the original costumes in the various ballets.
