Subject: [CB] Geveart book on Instrumentation

I have been reading my books on instrumentation/orchestration lately and
most of them from Berlioz to Forsyth to Blatter mention the Gevaert treatise
on instrumentation.  Strauss even mentions that this book should serve as a
complement to Berlioz's and his work.  My question is, where can I find this
seemingly important volume, or can it not be found in print anymore.
Thanks,
Bret Newton

Have you tried the Library?

Yep, and there was nothing, (this was a university library for music by the way).

When I was working on my doctoral dissertation two years ago, I obtained the following works by Gevaert through inter-library loan (all from libraries in the USA):
