Want to buy 'Oud' by Marcel Khalifa

The only place I've found the book is maqam.com and it's quite expensive. I was wondering if anyone here had a copy they no longer use that they'd be willing to sell?

I haven't heard of this book. Sounds very interesting. what does talk about?
Is in Arabic only?

I believe it's around $40 shipped which isn't too bad but I'm afraid I would never get around to playing all the songs. Do you think it would be cheaper in Lebanon, Samir? It will be nice to be in a country where you can walk down the street and see and hear ouds hehe

jshead... it's a collection of sheet music for the oud written by Khalifa. I know there are several duets and ensemble pieces and maybe some solo pieces. If you do a search I remember starting a thread about it a long time ago and a member chimed in who had the book.
