Danieljkerr Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) I’ve been obsessed with getting this book which was last in print in 2019. I’ve just come across Blackwells (who are a reputable UK chain) have 10+ copies in stock and ship to Australia for free. I’ve ordered mine but wanted to share as suspect I’m not the only person that’s want to get their hands on a copy. Apparently it’s US skewed but I like the aesthetic of vintage hifi and design enough that it’s still worth it to me.

The simple declarative sentence is mostly out of the author's reach so one has to slog through overly complex, comma dammed, passive tense sentences that produce an inadvertently pretentious, off-putting narrative that to use audio terminology, is 180 degrees out of phase with a breezy, coffee table style book's intent. The book's focus is unclear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_mike Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It sounds like the reviewer isn't a "profession" writer either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
