Book reviewed:
- Petrusich, Amanda. Do Not Sell at Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World’s Rarest 78rpm Records. Scribner, 2014.
Appears in Los Angeles Review of Books, October 15, 2014.
Background: I review Amanda Petrusich’s excellent exploration of the world of 78 record collecting, and by extension, early 20th century American blues and folk music. Amongst its other strengths is Petrusich’s ethnographic-eque dive into a collecting community and what drives people’s obsessions around records.
