Paul Whiteman's book on record collecting

Post by JHolmesesq »

Is it any good? I had no idea that Whiteman wrote a book on the topic in the 40s - I've found a few cheap used ones on Amazon but I thought I would ask the esteemed company here to see what opinions are

Here's the introduction- sounds nice: http://www.shellac.org/wams/wpaulw1.html

I'd bet that it isn't about collecting old or historic records but about music appreciation and building a record library.
