You probably know that these can be quite pricey. If you have a MAC or iPAD you may want to consider the electronic version. It has a lot of advantages, like many additional color pictures and is only $15.

If you, as many of us like the feel and look of a book in your hands, you may not like it. Anyway here's the link.

I got mine new for $35 (in 2004). I'm a bit amazed at how much this particular book sells for now. I understand it's out of print, but is demand really that great? The downloadable version is probably the best way to go.

How is this companion book different from the Edison Cylinder Phonographs by the same author?

The 1994 "Companion" is a greatly expanded and improved version of the 1978 original, benefitting from additional research and far more illustrations. As a result it commands a higher price than it's predecessor. After much searching on line I bought an unused copy from an American bookseller for less than the best price in the UK, even allowing for postage. Unfortunately I cannot remember the seller's name as it was some years ago.

I would sell mine for $150 if you are interested.
