Hi Mike!

Very very interesting. As you may know I have an affection to Novello editions for organ, for different reasons (one being Sir Frederic Higgs' advices on how to play and do some registrations on Bach works).
These 7 old music books were unknown to me... I 'll have to go to this small shop in Athens, where I usually find old Novello stuff, and search...

Thanks, once more and cheers

The thing I really like about the edition is its typeface ... just lovely and so recognisable as Novello.

8 volumes of The Village Organist can be downloaded for free here:

Some are occasionally for sale on Ebay, but I printed them myself. Took some sheets of paper, but otherwise cost nothing.

The Sibley Music Library (Rochester University) has huge amounts of forgotten gems from GB and other parts of the world. Just search "organ" and spend the night browsing them...

I downloaded them all also. Looking at the music, there is a lot that is not easily available new. Thanks for the link.

Finn - lots of green house gasses unfortunately, but thanks for the link, great stuff. I too and guilty of over zealous printing.
