Interesting Read

Finding a lot of albums that I had forgotten about and many more that I never knew about. Already marked a couple pages with albums I want to hunt for. One thing though - the book I got has a different dust cover than the one pictured. The design is the same but many of the album covers depicted are different. No big deal, but it makes me wonder if the book I got is an older or newer version.

very nice hardcover coffee table book

great for browsing - loved the artwork!!! A great buy!!! Bought several as x-mas gifts and will buy more for B-day gifts

Just what my husband wanted!

I ordered too late for my husband to receive this one for Christmas but he was delighted anyway! Arrived is great shape and was what he expected. Thank you much.

For Fun or the Music Enthusiast

I received this book for the holidays and wound up reading it cover to cover in 3 hours. The book does a great job of explaining the evolution of the album cover. It also gives great background into what the artist's was trying to portray with the cover. The book covers all genres, as well as, explains covers that were giving social commentary to covers that are just plain silly. Great purchase for anyone that loves not only the music but everything that goes into it.

Fun Book, brings back the memories

If I had known, this would have been the last gift my husband opened. We could not get him away from this book on Christmas morning. It was fun to see him sit with our daughter and tell her about which titles he had and some of his memories to go along with the album covers. Neat book!
