Do not sell at any price

[NJguy]

Theres a new book on the market for record collectors, its called Do not sell at any price by amanda petrusich. I read about it in Entertainment Weekly. The subtitle is "the wild obsessive hunt for the worlds rarest 78 rpm records".

I went and got it at my local library it was just released in august. Check it out people.

Here is an latimes review http://www.latimes.com/books/jacketcopy/la-ca-jc-amanda-petrusich-20140706-story.html#page=1

I just finished that book on my Kindle. I really liked it and have been on the hunt for 78s before I even finished it. I set up a whole system just for mono. Fun stuff.
Enjoy

Last week my N P R station talked to Amanda Petrusich. Well worth a listen.

Yeah i heard about this awhile back on NPR. It sounded interesting but the LAST thing i need to do is to get into 78's...ha.

Once I get it set up again, you can come listen to Enrico Caruso on my 1920-ish Brunswick acoustic gramophone and hear for yourself what it sounds like!

There was a thread earlier on Robert Crumb being a fervent collector of rare shellac 78s.
