Hi All, Around 1984, master caller, Larry Edelman lead a calling workshop in Santa Barbara. The first thing he did was to show us a few square dance books he collected at used book stores. One of those books was Advanced Square Dance Figures of the West & Southwest, by Lee Owens and Viola Ruth. Larry told us workshopees that he'd been looking for that book for a time, and found it right under our Santa Barbarians noses. That started me on a now 35 year quest. I frequented Santa Barbara used book stores and, when traveling, looked up the local used book stores in cities I visited, planning my exploration of a town around perusing used book stores in search of square, contra, and some international dance books, as well as folk stories and music books. As you might guess, I now have quite a collection. And now I'm weeding out my library. In my quest, I've collected quite a number of duplicates. I would love these copies to find homes of people who would love to study the stories of American folk dance and related (or not) folk dances. Below is a list of these duplicates. I can be convinced to give some away, but I'd like to receive around the price I paid. If you live in the San Francisco area, you can make an arrangement to pick it/them up. If I have to mail it, I'll ask to be remunerated for the cost of shipping. If a book is not specifically on square dance, these books have a section of square dances or singing games. International, that is, other countries dances, are obvious... If you have any questions about any of them, I'll be glad to give a more complete description. Prices go from $5 to $20.
