-
A work that compiles the most important literature relating to private music collections (books, manuscript lists, household inventories, etc.) and indicates the current location of these collections. Book is meant to appeal to music researchers, bibliophiles, students of collectors or collecting, and individuals with an interest in provenance.

The time frame is 1467 to 1995 with a geographic focus exclusively of Europe and the Americas. Musical items are considered to be books, recordings, graphic materials, and scores. What constitutes a collection in terms of size, content, or variety is at the discretion of the author. Collections that are presently unaccounted for do not appear in Section 3. Section 4 does not include collections that focus on collector's personal effects.
