Dear David,<BR>
You are right, one of the chapters in EC is about the Wanamaker bell, also known as the Founders' Bell; the chapter is called "Rodman Wanamaker's "Big Ben."<BR>
<BR>
<EM>ENGLAND's CHILD: The Carillon and the Casting of Big Bells</EM> is going to be available to buy on Jill's site for the UK buyers, I believe, by the end of this week. At this time, books are being sold from Jill's site to <STRONG><U><FONT color=#ff0000>USA buyers only</FONT></U></STRONG>.<BR>
<BR>
The price per book shipped via Airmail to the UK is $44.<BR>
<BR>
Hardcover w/dustjacket, 311 pages; 60 pages of b/w photos on coated paper; index.<BR>
<BR>
I'll send you an email when site is ready for UK buyers.<BR>
<BR>
The pub date in the UK is May 2008. But, this is a limited print-run and my advice would be to get a copy from JJ's site as soon as I let you know the details. There seems to be quite a run on the book here.<BR>
<BR>
We are extremely happy to finally see it in print--looks and feels great. Riverside Church is hosting a book party on Sunday February 24--when Jill will read from her book, show slides and RC is providing the music. The tower is under renovation so access to see the bells can't be accomplished--too bad. We are leaving for Book Tour to Durham, NC, Bok Sanctuaty, FL, <A href="mailto:UofFlorida@Gainesville">UofFlorida@Gainesville</A>, and a few other places along the way. Northeastern appearances are being scheduled for late February and March. I know Jill would LOVE to do something in the UK--maybe you can think of some way of bringing her across the pond.<BR>
<BR>
Warm regards,<BR>
<BR>
Ingrid<BR><BR>

<P>Further research has unearthed the following (from the Friends of the <BR>Wanamaker Organ website). It casts some doubt on the supposed first <BR>casting date for the Wanamaker Bell of 1923 - it reads as if both <BR>attempts to cast occurred in 1926.<BR><BR>"The ... bell that rings from the belfry of the PNB-First Union bank <BR>building on North Broad Street and Penn Square in Philadelphia was <BR>commissioned by Rodman Wanamaker in 1926 as a memorial to his father, <BR>John Wanamaker ... The bell was cast by the distinguished Gillett and <BR>Johnston foundry in Croydon, England ... Production delays caused its <BR>dedication to be postponed from the Fourth of July until New Year's <BR>Eve 1926-27."<BR><BR>Bill H<BR><BR><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
