Book Reviews of The Music Lover's Guide to Record Collecting (Book)
Book Review: Few Redeeming Qualities
Summary: 3 Stars
You remember those books we were assigned to read in school... Almost falling asleep as you reread the same tired line 3 times before you realized you had been doing so. Well this book is not entirely like that, but it does come close. I came away feeling like I was told to read this book instead of picking it up because I choose to.
While reading I came across some line about a shop owner having a priceless gem, and I realized I had better things to do with my life like check gemm.com to see if I could get my hands on a LP I've been wanting. At least this book did one good thing, when I went looking for that LP I found an awesome deal at GEMM.
It's all about that silver lining my friends...
The bottom line: the reading at times seemed laborious but it does help you solidify your own understanding of why you started collecting in the first place.
