I ran across this at my library and found it very enjoyable. I know these were segments on NPR, but I hardly ever listen to NPR, so these were all new to me. Some of them are funny, and some of them were educational for me. For example, I never knew about the "lectors" that would read classics and newspapers to the people who were rolling Cuban cigars in Florida a hundred years ago! Quite a fascinating collection.

This book covered all sorts of sounds, probably going as far back as Edison. It's been so many years, that I can't really remember what is on it. I do remember enjoying the book, listening to all of these old sounds.

If you are a buff, recommended.
