Description

This fascinating lot contains four essential reference books and catalogs for the discerning collector of vintage recorded sound and jukebox history. Included in this collection are Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound in the United States (1993, Garland Publishing, edited by Guy A. Marco), EMI: The First 100 Years by Peter Martland (1997, Batsford), 1889-1993: Over 100 Years of American Manufactured Jukeboxes, Volume I by Frank W. Adams (1992, AMR Publishing Company), and the softcover catalog The EMI Collection compiled by E. Bayly (Second Edition, 1977, Talking Machine Review). Together, these texts offer an unparalleled deep dive into early phonographs, record industry history, and jukebox identification. The books show light handling wear, minor cover scuffs, and edge wear consistent with careful reference use, but remain structurally sound with clean text pages. Stacked: H 4.5″, W 11.5″, D 9.5″.
