America on Record : A History of Recorded Sound > Customer Review #1:
The best Ive found of its type.

Mr. Millard has done an extraordinary job of documenting the recording industry from Edisons invention of the phonograph to the present day. He integrates the social, technical and business issues into an easy-to-read, almost "unputdownable" form. Parallels in broadcasting and motion pictures are given the necessary coverage as well. To a student of recorded sound, the references and bibliography are invaluable.
