Books and Magazines With Audio Equipment

A real book for all enthusiasts and collectors that I recommend is the following:



It contains 196 pages in colour, 499 Walkman models (Sony, Aiwa, National) and many many tapes!

 

But what about all those Japanese Amazon links,
It always tell me that's impossible to ship to Germany....?

 

Would be nice to grab one of those...

 

This is a novel sized book (small) about 200 pages , vertical Japanese writing (columns) , b&w small photos.
I bought that book last September , translation is progressing at slow pace , no fancy photos or glossy paper only essential Sony design history from a ... Sony designer , not only for walkmans , but more about it in the future.
The book itself is not expensive but shipping to Greece was about 4x the books price , proper translation will cost you huge amounts of time but if you are a weirdo like me you may enjoy it !

Incidentally @JK1210 If I recall correctly the book was found at Amazon Japan but was able to buy it through Amazon.de , and a question , have you mentioned here the book you found the info about the Hokaido and the transparent walkmans on the King of rarity thread ?

 

Haha, no...Kings of rarity

 

Only double thing might be the DD9 "Dual"

 

But this one special unit has much to do with swiss catalogues....so it's here also in the right place.

 

Another favourite I grabbed some weeks ago

 

And here comes Google translation...

 

Uh...another nice front cover...

 

2 units for tape and radio enjoyment

 

Same Walkman...

 

Some ugly German WM-2 advertising....

 

X-Mas is not really the subject right now, but I have to share this lovely one with y'all...

 

Oh, this page is nice too...

 

Would be interesting concerning import duties...

Awesome how much this little early bird was packed with stuff inside...
