AETHERPHON, global theremin family

I've been working on my Purple Note e-commerce store, and gathering 
music contacts and such, and I wanted to sell some books as well.  I've 
been in touch with Jan Bilk for Carolina Eyck's theremin method book (I 
have a sample of it and it is really well done) and I thought about 
other theremin books, and thought I would do some research on wholesale 
books.

This is harder than it sounds.  There are a lot of scams on-line, splogs 
that seem to use that term hoping to cheat folks out of their Google Ads 
dollars, and a lot of companies that sell clearances and cutouts.  And 
one distributor that seemed to be the real McCoy, a company called 
Ingram, has a minimum purchase of 100. (?!?)  Well, I suppose they sell 
to Waldenbooks and stuff....

So I figured, maybe the publisher might know something.  AT the very 
least, maybe it could get me going.  I got my copy of the Theremin 
biography and looked and saw it was published by the University of 
Illinois Press, so I looked up their web site and browsed around.  I 
found an ordering page, but not a lot of information so I called the 
number for their sales department.  I spoke to a very friendly and 
helpful woman who explained to me their resale policies, which is pretty 
much give 'em some info about my retail business and get a discount (a 
very nice discount, as it happens) and there you go.  No wholesalers to 
mess with, just straight from the publisher at resale discount price 
with no minimum purchase!

And to top it all off, the woman offered me Dr. Glinsky's contact 
information, in case I wanted to do an interview!!!!!

I'll seriously have to consider that.....
