Open/Close ESS Journals

The ESS launched the first ESS Journal at the summer school in London 2011.

Edited by Michael Soumei Coxall and Philip Horan, it includes articles by various ESS members.

It has been a huge success and almost half the printed copies are sold.

Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to individual requests to buy the Journal due to the high cost of posting single items. However, the Journal will be available at future ESS events.

We are also able to bulk post copies (between 6 and 14 copies) to Shakuhachi teachers and other organisations who feel they can sell the Journal. When they have sold the copies, they can reinbourse the ESS at events or through Paypal.

The Journal sells for 20 euros for ESS members and 23 euros for non-members.

We hope to have the Journal available to buy online at a later date.

ESS Journal Volume 1

If you are interested in the Journal, please send an email Philip Horan, the ESS Publishing Officer.
