Do Not Sell at Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World's Rarest 78rpm Records by Amanda Petrusich

4.0

I expected this book to be more of a page turner but it read more like someone's dissertation. The author is a skilled writer for sure but I enjoyed the stories about the search for these records. Scuba diving in the river! Wow. To me that was much more interesting then all of the biographical information on the artists and collectors. Country Blues really isn't a genre I have much interest in but I did find myself seeking out many of the songs he author mentioned. Maybe someday I'll hear someone play a 78 and will appreciate this music more.
