I'm hoping to get a B&O audiophile a "unique" gift.  I'm wondering what your thoughts may be on this? Would this be a nice historic manual to have, or is it not really relevant?

I think it was probably very relevant in 1977, and some of the theories will no doubt still hold water - but I just think that book is a really nice collectible.

$95 is expensive though.. I'd let my own copy of that book go for a lot less!

+ 1.  But look here: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22538602645

Or here: https://www.worldofbooks.com.au/bang-and-olufsen-book-of-hi-fi-by-dan-everard-gor003221439.html

My own copy was purchased by my wife for a lot less!

EDIT:  And although both adverts say 'hardcover' I am pretty sure it's only avail as a paperback.  I could be wrong!

I found a copy on abebooks priced at 99p and stated to be in only fair condition. I took a chance and bought it.

It has just arrived and is actually like new with no fading of the coloured cover and has unmarked pages.

Good afternoon to you guys,

I've just found that one but don't know if it deserve a topic on it's own, so I post here.

It's a funny little dictionary with a red fabric coated cover and some b&w pictures of B&O products inside

"The 50 keywords about Hi-Fi". Printed in 1970.
