I recently acquired a book of relatively straightforward transcriptions of some of Puccini's operatic works, and I've got Ivar Mikashoff's  commendable works, but surely there are more out there.  Google is being obstinately unhelpful, so hit me with some!

I've never even heard of it.  Google seems to fail me. You're not just teasing, are you?

This is gonna send me broke!

Not much of interest Puccini-wise, though. Bayless seems not in print, though I did manage to find the Godfrey!
