John R. Bennett - Voices Of The Past Volume 11
I learned of this book around 15 years ago, but never found a copy for sale anywhere. But last week on ebay two came up for sale from different sellers!

Terry Jones - The Lady And The Squire
Review
This book was read by my wife to our 9 year old granddaughter as a bedtime story in Covid lockdown using WhatsApp, with two or three chapters most nights. My wife had previously read the first book in the trilogy 'The Knight And The Squire', so when she finished this book tonight, we were quite prepared for my granddaughter to ask for something different, rather than the final book of the trilogy. But she didn't, which shows that the story has captured her imagination and attention. Thanks again Terry & Michael!

Terry Jones - The Knight And The Squire
Review
Bought in a charity shop for £1 two years ago, I was saving this for a visit by our granddaughter then aged 7. But with the current Covid 19 lockdown it has proved very useful, as my wife has been reading it as a bedtime story via Whatsapp video calls. With 50 chapters, and two or three chapters per night, it has given our granddaughter a lot of pleasure over about three weeks. Our granddaughter's review (now aged nearly 10) was:

It was VERY good!

I've now got the second and third books in the trilogy, and she is half way through the second with no loss of enthusiasm. Thanks Terry & Michael!

Walter L. Welch - From Tinfoil To Stereo
Rated 4/10
I'd seriously advise against anybody buying the 3rd edition (1994) of this book. I got it based on things I'd read suggesting it was a comprehensive review of the recorded music industry 'from tinfoil to stereo'. It wasn't. So I got a copy of the 2nd edition (1976) and found that all the later chapters had been removed in the 3rd edition. I've posted images of the contents pages from both editions so you can see how much more the 2nd edition contained. This 3rd edition may be more up to date in light of more recent findings, but it is totally Edison-centric and written entirely for the American market, ignoring Europe almost completely.
