I'm not aware of Frow writing a book specifically about the Ideal/Idealia. His major book, "Edison Cylinder Phonograph Companion", is out of print, but a version of it is available for the iPad.

Same here.

I'm not aware of any Edison Idelia book from Frow, I'm sure that you are referring to the "Edison Cylinder Phonograph Companion" which is referenced above. It has an Idelia Chapter in it.

I have all of Frow's books.

You can find used copies of the "Edison Cylinder Phonograph Companion" on Amazon and on ebay, and of course the IPAD version which is cheaper. The Hardback version usually fetches about $100-$150.00 and up..

Sorry I'm new to this. I didn't know the book covered other models. When I did a search for Idelia on this site I kept reading about Frow's book on the Idelia. I'll keep my eye out for the book but doubt I'll buy one if they are that expensive
