• In 1992 Prof. Charles Schlacks Jr. of Utah Univ. edited and published a book (146 pages) called "Tanneck; The Journal of The Wilhelm Furtwängler Society of America, volumn 1 number 1", illustrated by numerous and beautiful Sepia portraits by Trude Fleischmann (1896-1990) from the Thirties. (out of print)

(The special issue "TANNECK" of WFSA was originally feature a comprehensive collections of essays and critques by musicians, critics, and schlars as well as translations of Furtwangler's own writings. The issue seralized documents and book-length studies. It would be handsomely produced on acid free paper with numerous illustrations from the Furtwangler Archives in Clarens. But but for several reasons, it was never distributed by the society mainly due to that two artilcles selected by the editor contained a blatantly offensive history of genocide. This case didn't reflect the opinion of the WFSA therefore this book later was only distributed and signed series number at the end of each copy by the editor, official revised version of this book published under WFSA was never come out.)

But I have a difficulty to contact with Schott Mainz because of their reply in German,
so I order above books from their UK's office.

IX. Furtwangler book ordering information IV

There is a USA used book store which can supply the out-of-print book::

Daniel Gillis: "Furtwängler Recalled", published by Atlantis Verlag, Zurich, Switzerland, in USA by John de Graff Inc., Tuckahoe, 1965,  224 pages, 5 photos, hardcover. (superb recollections by many of the maestro's colleagues and friends) (out of print)

This book was out of print for a long time, can only be found in some secondhand bookstores. The price for a used copy is high or very high.
Recently I contacted a secondhand bookstore and was very surprised that they have 25 copies of this book in their stocks. And the price is resonable at US$20.00. So I think there may be some friends on the list want to have this book. The informations of this bookstore are attached below.

From the book's dealer::

Please note the book has mildew damage to the cover. (It was stored in a damp place in the publishers home.) The condition of the book should have been listed as fair to good. The contents of the book are very good, as is the dust wrapper.

I have about 25 copies of this book. I bought a carton at an auction of  the publishers estate. It was stored in a wet area for some time and I
thought all the books were damaged. I believe I have at least five or six in good condition except for the smell (which gets less in time.)

Email me if you want additional copies and I will let you know the cost  if all mailed together in one package. They will be less than $27.50
each.
