Last Shop Standing: Whatever Happened to Record Shops? by Graham Jones

3.0


As is documented record stores are dying so Graham Jones visits a lot of record stores and documents their histories and interviews the people who work there so us readers know what is going on with music as a physical format.

It's a good book: There are some great anecdotes however the problem lies that the book's not very well written and not all anecdotes are funny. There were some points where I just wanted to skip a chapter and go to the next store mentioned.

Still Last Shop Standing does get it's message through: Times are changing and establisments have to cope.

Incidentally there's also a documentary which is excellent - go watch it ASAP.
