It's interesting that Pierce is still producing the Piano Atlas.

When I talked to Bob Pierce back in the very late sixties he told me
that sales were not worth the effort it would take to put out another
edition and that he had no intention of making any more after his
present (1965) edition was sold out.  He felt that the market was
pretty well covered and there wasn't really that much to add in another
edition.

I am sure that I was on his mailing list and would have expected
to have been notified that he was producing later editions.  Very
interesting that he is still making them according to the posts in
the MMD.

My 1965 edition has no numbers listed for Seeburg but years ago I had
a partial factory list copy that was accurate as far as I could tell,
according to the dozen or so Seeburgs that I owned at that time and
could verify the dates for.  I'm sorry that I no longer have that copy
as it was among the material that was destroyed in 1982 when my house
was burned down, evidence of which fire still shows on the front of the
Piano Atlas.

It just occurred to me that Bob Pierce is a quite old man by now,
probably in his seventies or eighties.  I didn't know him.  I only
talked with him on the phone once or twice that I can recall.
