Thanks Henry............trouble is you've told everyone else now about that copy on Ebay.

Andy. The thing is the prize draw is on Tuesday and the copy on Ebay finishes before then.

Bet I'll end up with 2 copies

Hi Mike,

I think I saw one of these on eBay UK just this morning at 99p. There weren't any photos though. Hold on let me get the link. Here you are:

Mike. Why don't you just win the eighth prize on Tuesday?
Don't win the sixth, I'm planning on winning that!

Many thanks for the replies to my posting. It is a lot to pay for a book but I get the impression that those who have bought it think it is good value for money?

I had a look at Ebay.de but I am pretty sure that the people selling it would not ship to to the UK where I live. I think I will keep an eye on the UK Ebay for a copy and hope I am lucky enough to get one.

Thanks again.

Mike

Dear All:

The layout and pictures in the new edition are much better imho.

A must get for B&O fans and sound reproduction history fans as well.

i bought my copy on ebay.de, there are always some copies on auction there. the B&O dealers have to buy the books from B&O and give them to their "good" costumers. I think a good price is 35£/ 45€

I second that.

I got the latest edition not signed but a great book to have.

You can get them at qxl.dk too. It's a Danish auction site so mostly European customers.

My dealer usally always have a copy for sale even today when I was in the shop for a minute.

Available from your dealer - Spark to Icon has some pages of newer products at the back, otherwise they are very similar. There is a limited edition signed by Peter Bang.

Just wondered if anyone could help with much info on these books please as I am thinking about trying to get a copy. Does anyone know how they were distributed? Were they ever for general sale? How limited were they? Is the second book just a straight updated version of the first book? In other words, does the second book include everything that was in the first book (plus the updates) or was there anything left out of the second book?

I have seen the page on Beoworld about the first book but just wanted some extra info. Any comments gratefully received.

Thanks

Mike
