John,
Thank you very much for your help! I have requested
that the library at my university acquire Zimmermann's
book. Do you know where I might be able to acquire my
own copy? Do you have one?
I have many questions about Brereton and ballad
printers in general. Why would Brereton have no
regard for the quality of his printing? Are his
ballads the most readily available today?
I am currently trying to contact Neiland. Thanks for
the tip!
Cheers!
Jen
