Some of these you may already have, but I'll list my favs anyway, in no particular order; 'Briefs for 100 Favorite Dances & 63 More' by the Madison, WI, group. I'm frequently glad I have it with me. :) The Collins SCD book the Pillings book The Canadian Book, by John Drewry. (incl. Atholl Brose, Bees of Maggieknockater, Hamilton's Strathspey, Haunt of the Gnomes, The St. Nicholas Boat, etc.) the two MacNab books There are certainly more wonderful books out there, but these have been very helpful for me.

Terry Glasspool's 2 books - 7 Year Itch and An Itch to Dance have many wonderful dances in them. I have also found the Santa Fe group's book - Always Enough to Dance to be indispensable since I often have 4 and 5 dancers waiting for the next 2 to show up. Peter Price

Monica, as one of the editors of "100+63," I'm really touched that you like our little book. And now for the shameless commercial message: The Madison group (now the John Muir (Wisconsin) Branch) has a few copies of the book left. For details, see: http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/mscd/hundredsixtythree.htm When we've sold all that we have left, we'll start work on a new edition. Your suggestions for dances to add and subtract are welcome. Mike -- BRIGGS LAW OFFICE Michael and Norma Briggs 1519 Storytown Road Oregon WI 53575-2521 USA +1 608 835 0914 www.briggslawoffice.com

A few favorites Bob Campbell's Glasgow Assembly Drewry's Brodie, Silver Tassie, and Rondel collections (in adition to Canadian) Dunsmuir Collection Cosh's 22 dances Goldring starting with the graded and social books, but you can't go wrong Ladies of Dunse, but the tip of the iceberg of good recent collections - Vancouver, Hamilton, and on and on - an embarrassment of riches and with a final self-serving suggestion I'd include the SF class's new Measures of Pleasure -- which includes some lovely new Tim Wilson dances Bruce Herbold San Francisco
