Tunes of Glory

Ahem...consult your local public library...interlibrary loan is a wonderful service that most public libraries offer...and since you're in Chicago, your public library might just have the book.

I'll give it a shot but I've encountered very little - shall we say - professionalism on the part of Chicago Public Library employees. Frankly, asking them anything more complicated than "where's the men's room" usually results in either a blank stare or a lot of bad attitude.

And that is not an insult to librarians in general...I am specifically talking about the folks who work in the Chicago Libraries...most of whom got their jobs because they knew somebody and not because they got a degree in Library Science. C'mon...it's Chicago...we didn't invent the patronage system here but we did perfect it.

Don't worry...I'm pretty well known in most of the used book stores in the city and I'm sure that a couple of phone calls will round me up a copy.

Sorry to hear that, AA...the used bookstores might be a good option though.

AA, give ABE Books a try if you're willing to buy a copy. I've got a couple of copies of this book through them.

So, we watched the movie tonight, and I searched out this thread, certain that the answer to my question would already be here. To my great suprise, especially on this board of "Tartan Peacocks", no one has mentioned what the tartan was!

It was a beautiful tartan (although not as beautiful as the DFT per Panache). I'm sure someone will be happy to help me out here....anyone....?

Be well,

There was a different thread about it. I think we concluded that it was the Scott Hunting Modern tartan.

Thank you!

I ordered Tunes of Glory from an ebay seller a few weeks ago, it came in the mail this morning, I put it in the DVD player, all I can say is thank you all for the recommendation it is a movie I am sure to watch over and over, if you are interested I picked it up for about $5.00 plus a wee bit for shipping. It was very much worth the price. I am going to see if I can track down the book.
