Hello! I want to read the aforementioned book, but none of my local libraries carry the book Cry nor am I going to pay 30 dollars for it. Are there any other methods or libraries that I can access to read the book?

Does your local library have interlibrary loan? If they do, they can request it from another library which will ship it to your local library. There are 303 libraries that own a copy according to WorldCat: https://search.worldcat.org/title/1089778122

Hi,

Interesting link ... and the number of schools that immediately got this ... both Art Bears and Henry Cow were college/university darlings for a long time ... it really shows how much some other styles, and ideas came to fruition ... and in a way, as to where Dagmar came from ... and was very comfortable with.

At this time the price for the book is too much for me ... to consider reading and reviewing it ... I would love to, but don't think it will happen ... kinda sad in a way ... the person who would do this, can not do it, as opposed to many other factions that won't bother with it.

It's well worth reading for any Henry Cow fan.

Hi,

I'm not exactly a fan, although my appreciation lies in the many odd expressions used and played, which create very different feelings for many of us.

Unlike a lot of bands that work hard at making sure they mean what they say, it is really difficult to determine this in this grouping of folks, and sometimes I think that it is almost art for art's sake ... and in this area, I tend to not be as excited as I can be. 

But it is a nice listen, and quite different, which is always a treat. Certainly way more enjoyable than the cookie factory of stuff in prog lands.

You might want to check out digital libraries like Open Library or see if your local library offers an interlibrary loan service. Sometimes they can borrow books from other libraries for you.

Hi,
