I wanted to congratulate Brian McLaren for his monumental
_Microtonality: Past, Present, Future_ which I just completed.
Well, I guess it's 4 months or so since the Claremont Microfest where
I purchased this item... but it *is* extensive.

The typeface is perhaps a little small, but it really is "jam-packed"
with a lot of valuable information.

My favorite section was on Psychoacoustics. This section seemed to
distill *lots* of resources, and I was entirely unaware that so much
had taken place in this field since Helmholtz...

The history sections, however, were also quite valuable, particularly
the inclusion of extensive bibliographies.

Congrats again. This is certainly a valuable read for anybody
interested in alternate tunings...
