Books and Magazines With Audio Equipment

Nice you already had some, now I want to print some up, maybe throw on Etsy?

Here's another neat mook with DCC, MD and the beginning of portable CD Players, there's some nice sample pages at the link.

Jorge, nice to see you popping in! Do you think "ohsome" meant "awesome?" I have to believe someone upstairs sent down the wood block to the designers for the size. This is neat stuff for any museum or company archives, hopefully it hasn't been lost in time but the magazine did get photos of it.

 

Released on Kindle (Amazon), crappy reviews but it's not very expensive.

I forgot about that book, it's so good it has it's own website. Some of these do show up on our Ebay but it's hard to search for them individually. Your link Silver965 brought up some more links on Amazon.jp, this one has been around for awhile I keep promising myself a copy of it someday. This has a multi-page preview with some beautiful photography.

I wouldn't turn down one of these BCL Radios, basically it's a radio that got in several different bands in that part of the world. I think a few of these had a cassette deck but I think it was more for recording the airwaves.

This looks really good, it's on my short list. Does anybody have a copy of this?

This looks like it's Walkman MP3 Players but still interesting.

I have no idea what this says and it has several pages to preview but there are no photos, it does say "Sony" in the title.

This one looks like it looks into the design aspects of the Walkmans

Great find! But it's on the first page Silver965, I've got about 10 tabs open for Amazon Japan, the related books can be a goldmine. You can also translate the reviews to English to find out a little more about the books. Post any you find, I'm going to try ordering some. Unfortunately I have to head out for work but some of these books look really interesting.

 

A book about famous people listening to the new Walkman with some Walkman History.

An older book about the development of the Walkman

There's a lot more books out there than I thought, I haven't tried running the Google Translator yet and searching in Japanese, I'm thinking there's even more. Post what you find, it will be a great resource for those interested.
