Tuning and Temperament: A Historical Survey
Published in Hardcover by DaCapo Press (June, 1972)
Author: James Murray Barbour
Amazon base price: $43.50
Average review score:

A standard work, it should be reprinted
This book is a standard source on scales and temeraments, and their history. It compares and contrasts Pythagorean tuning, just intonation, meantone, irregular temperaments, and finally equal temperament. Barbour displays a strong predisposition towards twelve tone equal temperament in this work, and interprets the history of scales and temperaments as an inexorable march towards equal temperament.

If you are a publishing company looking for something to reprint, this is a classic.
