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

3.0

A look inside the minds of collectors of all types, but specifically those who collect 78rpm records. The records themselves are incredibly rare, a piece of history that should belong in a museum but not enough people seem to care about them to have a museum built. The really old ones, from the 1920s, are sometimes the only record of the songs that are left in the world.

This book was ok. The writing style flowed well and Amanda Petrusich has a good narrative voice. I enjoyed reading a female music critic's perspective, for once. Overall it was a bit boring. If you're very interested in 78s or rare music recordings, this is a good book for you.
