EP works on classical music

I am a great fan of classical music. Over the years I have found very few leather-bound books from Franklin Library or Easton Press about classical music or composers. I only have the following 4 in my collection. If you know of others please let me know. A Mahler biography would be most appreciated:

1. Wagner - Ring of the Niblung (2 volumes)
2. Beethoven (Solomon)
3. Bach (Terry)
4. Mozart (Hildesheimer)

At my age “Images of the Beatles” could be considered classical.

0629 - Library of Great Composers, 8 volume set

0629-002 - Beethoven
0629-003 - Brahms, A Biography

I thought I might have up to two titles from this set, which I didn't even know was a set until now, but found that I only have the Mozart.

>5 HugoDumas:

I vaguely recall seeing some of those other names for sale about 6-8 years ago when I picked up my copy of the Mozart. I didn't realize they were part of a set then (and I didn't have any aspiration to read that many biographies of composers, either) so I didn't pay much attention, but regardless, the other titles must surely reappear from time to time.

1. Saving the Queen
2. Odessa File
3. From Russia with Love
4. Eagle Has Landed
5. Parsifal Mosaic
6. Where Eagles Dare
7. Perfect Spy
8. Key to Rebecca (Signed)

>8 EPsonNY: That looks like a 1990 series. I haven't quite made it back that far just yet. Should be coming up soon. I'll let you know when I get it inserted in the DB.
