Hi, good evening friends of music
Would it be possible to receive your printed product catalogue? I collect printed music catalogues and periodical info-bulletins from music publishers, regardless of genre. If the material is a few years old, that’s not a problem – actually all the better. I’m not a rich person, but all the same I am willing to pay for postal fees if necessary (COD) – please send me information regarding such fees via e-mail.
Many thanks. Best regards,
Milan Dasko (50 years)
