Re: [ARSCLIST] Vintage Ampex technology book on eBay...



This is to make it difficult to look up other, possibly less expensive copies on Bookfinder, Amazon, etc.

This seller does this all the time, and his prices are for phools.

Let me know who gets it :-)

----- imagine that anybody would sell a book without giving its author and title. It seems (Brush gave it away) to be Begun, S. J.: "Magnetic Recording" which came out, as the seller said, in 1949, but obviously it is not exclusively on Ampex. It was reprinted in 1954, and that edition is usually much cheaper. It is a good book. I would recommend the following two books:


Phil van Praag: "Evolution of the Audio Recorder", published by EC Designs, Inc., Waukesha, WI, (1997), ISBN 0-9657344-0-4 (xviii + 519 pages)

Andrew Emmerson: "Electronic Classics. Collecting, Restoration and Repair", Newnes, Oxford 1998, ISBN 07506 3788 9 (viii + 413 pages)

Kind regards,


George
