Just to be clear it is not a book reviewing Hifi equipment - more of a memoir .

I stumbled upon this book just before Christmas in an independent bookshop while in Chicago.

Not a big selection at all, but you could probably find one or two items. I just happened to be in the area on Saturday so got a coffee and dropped by.
