We’re pleased to announce that six forthcoming music titles have been awarded publication subventions from the American Musicological Society. These funds help offset the costs of publication and allow us to price the consumer edition of the book affordably. The competition is very stiff and we are delighted these books are receiving this support and this distinction from the AMS.
