    - Music Reference Books by Ira A. Robbins

      This page lists Music Reference Books by Ira A. Robbins. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of every Music Reference book ever written by Ira Robbins, or published by Trouser Press (Wikipedia) or Omnibus Press (Wikipedia). It is just a list of every book I own "{A}" by him, and a few other related editions I know about.

      For details about some of these these books, see the Trouser Press FAQ .
      Also, hundreds (thousands?) of updated entries that appeared in the 5 editions are on-line at Trouser Press . However, it is not an index to the books, i.e. it does not mention on which page of which edition each entry originally appeared.

      New pages split off from my original Bibliography page
