To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests:

1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.
2. Send material as plain text:  no HTML, other coding, or attachments.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has 
posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

Subject: Yale Strom's first children's book just published - a
     klezmer story

For those who love klezmer. A true klezmer  story I researched in Poland
turned into a children's story. It makes for a  wonderful gift for your children,
grandchildren, nephews, nieces and friends.  Enjoy!

Happy Healthy New Year - A Zis un Gezint Naye Yor!

The Wedding That Saved a Town  (Hardcover)
$17.95

by Yale Strom
illustrated by Jenya Prosmitsky

Yiske and  his band of klezmer musicians must find a groom to participate in
a very  unconventional wedding. An unusual folktale based on the old European
Jewish  custom of holding a wedding in a cemetery to ward off a cholera
epidemic. Join  Yiske and his clever horse Fairdy in this ghoulishly delightful
tale.

Written by famed klezmer musician and ethnographer _Yale Strom_
(http://www.yalestrom.com/) .
