I believe that the DMWC is out of print.
Thank you PJ. I had looked into this book just after the East Coast tionol. One of the teachers recommended it.
Buy it !
It’s a good book 
It’s certainly worth a bid. Clancy played some very different versions of certain well known tunes - Paidin O’Reaffertaigh and the Lark in the Morning, to name but two - which are reproduced in this book.
I bought mine in 1977 (first edition, second printing) and it seems they changed the cover at least once based on copies I’ve seen around since then (including the one on eBay now)… Is there anything in the later editions that wasn’t in the first one?
Here’s the cover of mine:
That’s the same issue as my book which I purchased in 1988 I think.
I already bid on it, I have the username of fiddlerosin on e-bay. too bad there wasn’t a “buy it now”
Damn, I’ve already been outbid!
So, bid again. 
At http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm
you’ll find four copies of the book for sale - prices are between 38 & 78 US & A dollars. The copy at 78 US & A dollars has hard covers.
Abe’s books also has 4 copies of the book for sale, prehaps the same four copies as Alibris? Prices netween 16 and 39 British pounds.
So there’s no need to go mental and bid a colossal over the top amount for the e-bay book
I have the new book (it’s black, black, black!) and it has a bit of new material in it (mostly in the forward I think). I use it so much that I am just going to have it spiral bound to make it easier to use. It has most of Willie’s dance music in it, I believe, but not all. I have heard some recordings of tunes of Willie (le Bobby Casey) that are not in the book.

Many recordings emerged after the book was published. That aside, you can safely assume Willie had at least ten times the number of tunes in the book.
The newer edition has an additional forward from Pat Mitchell, and a discography. Some names have been provided for previously nameless tunes like the Boys of Ballisodare.
A few transcriptions of Willie’s playing have appeared in An Piobarie over the years - Ace and Deuce of Pipering, for instance. Willie had great versions of tunes like the Four Courts of Dublin and hopefully some scribe will write these out some day.
I always had nr 53 down as Boys of Ballisodare, a similar two part version appears in the Rowsome collection as Daniel Markey’s though.
Ah, going by memory here. Forgive me if I can’t recall which tunes were nameless in an earlier edition of a book I haven’t seen in 8 years!
Hi,
I bought a brand new copy of this book about a month ago from Wally Charm at the Seattle piper’s club-even though it is not listed on their site. At the time I beleive he said he still had 2 more copies left. I think I paid around 25.00 USD for it.
Cheers!

I bought my copy at the Archambault music store on the corner of Berri and Ste. Catherine here in Montreal about two years ago. I actually found it in the recorder section!!!
If I’m not mistaken, I think I saw another copy there recently.
Now, when I shop at Archambault, I always check the recorder section as well as the fiddle section. I have seen many interesting books, such as the blue, green and orange tune books, various O’Neill books, as well as collections of the music of O’Carolan. As recently as two weeks ago, they were stocking two copies of Heather Clarke’s tutor, in the Miscellaneous Instrument section…

Sold. US $46.27
And I’m the happy new owner (or will be when it arrives). Very excited!
Congrats. It’s a nice book of tune settings.
