This book is a total AUDIO reference. It may be 40 years olf, but it is a fascinating read. Very much from the “pro” side of things, but some very good domestic examples, and the acoustics side of things still incredibly valid. Electronics rotates around a mix of vacuum tube, early transistor and some IC knowledge. It is a piece of history, and cover to cover is a true encyclopaedia, the kind of book that simply could not be made these days. It took me a while to track down a copy, this was never sold in the U.K.
