The works of Noverre and his contemporaries, and the development of dance notation, starting with Feuillet. (3) The Romantic ballet. A broad selection of memoirs, treatises on technique, synopses and librettos, illustrated books, autograph letters, etc. (4) Modern dance, with an emphasis on Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes; we have included a selection of inscribed books, presented to Mrs. Ekstrom by some of her many friends in the ballet world. This catalogue represents only a portion of Mrs. Ekstrom's library." Entries are cross referenced to standard dance/ballet bibliographies by Beaumont, Magriel, Niles/Leslie and Derra de Moroda.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
