Re: [Phono-L] The Edison Phonograph Monthly Question
Someone (bigapple59) offers various volumes on ebay all the time @ $17.99 with postage, so he must have bought the remainders. http://tinyurl.com/ls7f23s I admit to reading every single page of mine, even the boring parts !! I also have 2 sets guess I thought they'd be worth something, someday. - Original Message - From: phonost...@aol.com To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Friday, August 23, 2013 12:48 AM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] The Edison Phonograph Monthly Question John, Thank you for your response. Glad I had the chance to purchase all 14. I must admit I did not page through all them to any length. I got involved in getting the EPM's from Wendell Moore as preserving phonograph history. As I recall, back when I purchased almost all of Wendell's books, or after,, I got a letter from Wendell, asking if I would be interested in his inventory of unsold EPMs. I declined this venture and often wondered if any other phonograph collector stepped up to the plate,? Do you know who may be selling any of Wendell's APM's today, or if any original APM's are still available?? In a message dated 8/23/2013 12:19:52 A.M.

Re: [Phono-L] The Edison Phonograph Monthly Question
My set likewise gets enjoyed. It can remain undisturbed on the shelf for months at a time, and then at various times I find myself taking two or three volumes out for bedside table reading at night. Other times I get into some particular Edison phonograph, determine its general date of manufacture, and pull the age-appropriate volumes for reading over breakfast or lunch, to get the flavor of the EPM's promotional and monthly record list material around that particular general period. Like John, I never tire of them. Andrew Baron Santa Fe On Aug 22, 2013, at 9:57 PM, John Robles wrote: Fourteen volumes is the whole set. I bought mine 15 years ago and I never tire of it.

Re: [Phono-L] The Edison Phonograph Monthly Question
I find the later ones a little more dry; the earlier volumes have lots more graphics and dealer/jobber feedback. The first three are particularly good.

Re: [Phono-L] The Edison Phonograph Monthly - Voice of Victors and my dream
Wendell did some subsequent reprints of Edison Amberol Monthly - I seem to remember 5 or 6 issues. They were not bound and were high quality photocopies. Whatever they were, I bought them though can't easily put my fingers on them. At the same time he did color repros of a few Voice of Victors which were pricey because color xeroxes in those days were costly. I think I have one or two of those. Speaking of VoV's - I still think they are graphically the most exciting and bring high prices ($30+ up) on ebay. I have a few originals. I always though that -if these were reproduced in bound volume they would sell great and these are like art books. The Camden County Historical Society has a full run. About 12 years ago I approached Peter Schiffer the then-head of Schiffer Publishing (who did all the Fabrizio/Paul books) who has since died (his son heads the company now) about publishing them but he didn't think there was enough of a market. I told him that at $50 or $60 the book would sell well (pnono and Nipper collectors) but nothing ever happened. I heard that Bob Baumbach is going to push his newest book as an e-book. Honestly, I love leafing through printed volumes. So I'll continue to dream of having a bound volume of Voice of Victors in my lifetime. Meanwhile Ryan Barna continues to make printed copies of the Columbia Record available as photocopy reprints. But these are black and white. Steve Ramm ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
