FOR SALE: Talking Machine World 1905-1915 Reprints - $350OBO

[benjaminh]

I have more copies of this set available. If anyone has friends that they think may be interested in a set of these books, feel free to PM me to get my contact information.

This is a reproduction of the original phonograph dealer magazine "The Talking Machine World," which was edited by "Colonel" Edward Lyman Bill. It was the chief trade magazine until 1928 when it ceased to be published. I have carefully reproduced all monthly issues from the first edition, 1905, to December 1915, in the format of 15 paperback volumes. These magazines are full of information pertaining to phonographs, as well as some on other mechanical music items (player pianos, etc.). Tons of information on horns, cranes, and lots of gizmos and gadgets. Advertisements for many nearly unheard of offbrands are also present. It also has information/pictures of the factories, and updates on dealer conventions. A great resource! The price is $350OBO.
