A pair of piano solo music books published by Anglo-Soviet Music Press Ltd via Boosey and Hawkes, both copies were printed in England but are stamped Boosey and Hawkes Australia, no obvious dates, these editions were first published between 1946 and 1949, but I have been unable to verify the age of these copies.
- A. Khachaturian, Pictures of Childhood, edited and fingered by Alec Rowley. Covers heavily edge worn, spine has been taped to hold the front and back covers together and multiple small tears along all edges several tears to the back cover. The covers are no longer attached to the pages, however the pages remain stapled together. Aging and edge wear throughout, but no obvious notations. Pages appear to be free from any damage or repairs.
- D. Kabalevsky, Fifteen Children's Pieces, edited with special annotations by Alfred Mirovitch. Edge wear and aging to the covers as would be expected, creasing to both outer corners of the front cover, the creasing at the top goes through to about page 19/20, the bottom seems to stop about page 3/4, however the back cover is also creased at the bottom corner - which doesn't appear to go through to the pages. Covers and pages still stapled together. Aging and edge wear throughout but again no obvious notations. The pages appear to be free from any damage or repairs
