"Required Reading" section

Post by Jerry B. »

The discussion regarding the confusion between the Col Q and the AB McDonald gave me an idea. There are quite a few questions that could be answered with access to quality books in our hobby. How about starting a "Required Reading" section that lists the books on the hobby, a basic summery about each book, and where books might be purchased. It could be kept in a permanent location like the Archives section. What do others think? Jerry Blais

Sounds like it would be another great source of research info.

Jerry---Excellent idea. The first place to start would be all of the books authored by George P. Although there are those that may say you can find all kind of information concerning phonographs on the internet, I like the availability to leaf through a book written by those in the know. I am old school (64 years old) and learned to read before I could use a computer. :D

An excellent idea!

I turn to my reference shelf often. I am also one who loves good well-written and illustrated books even though I am quite computer literate. I despair of owning some titles I really want, though, as some are over-the-top expensive now.
