Napoleon Coste CompositeurA charming small book about Napoleon Coste, published in France in 2005 (not published by Tecla)

This book was published in 2005 to accompany the celebrations which were held in Amondans, the village in France where Coste was born, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth there in 1805. As far as I know it is the only book so far published about Coste. It is written in French. It is a very charming little book, paperback format and 48 pages long. It outlines Coste's life and work and has many colour photographs, especially of the area of Amondans in the Doubs in France. From the point of view of the historian it is interesting because it includes details of Coste's career which I haven't seen elsewhere, for example reviews of concerts in the "Journal de Valenciennes" of the early 19th century. It was published in only 150 copies, so it is already a rare book. 48 pages, paperbound. Copyright 2006 by Tecla Editions. Errors and omissions excepted.
