The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I guess I was good this year... .My Wife decided to surprise me with a early present for Xmas. The 1991 GE book "His Master's Voice In America" by Fred Barnum. What a great book and all that wonderful info and photo's. I have wanted one for quite awhile.However, whenever I have seen one for sale they are very expensive. I wonder why???. Anyone that likes to collect Berliner,Victor or even RCA would like this book. I must remember to be a good husband more often. If I keep it up I might get a round case ratchet wind Berliner from her....... .

You have a great wife and she deserves diamonds! I have rarely received a hobby related gift for Christmas. For that reason we should start a "Christmas Club" at Union. We could draw names and have a $100 limit and find something hobby related. We could have Christmas in June. Is this a great idea???

Yes, I will have to spoil my Wife now for this. Here is something that I or many would never see this way. These pics go out to BrianU who will (I'm sure) enjoy looking at this work of art.

I'd be real happy to get that too! Looks like a great book.

Just don't spill your Christmas cuppa all over it.

Very funny! That's only really a problem if you're playing an ugly Crap-o-phone at the time!
