> The Collector's Guide to Victor Records (2nd Edition) by Michael Sherman
> w/Kurt Nauck
>
> 7" x 10", 288 pp with 850 full color illustrations
>
> With roots extending all the way back to the birth of the disc recording
> industry, Victor reigned supreme throughout the 78 rpm era. Herein lies the
> story of Victor's standard-catalog 78 rpm record label, traced from Berliner
> (its predecessor) to the demise of the 78 rpm format. All four of Victors
> standard label colors (Black, Red, Blue & Purple) are documented in detail
> along with all changes made to the Victor label throughout its 60 year run.
>
> The second section of the book highlights many of the notable singers,
> personalities and world leaders who recorded for Victor, leaving a priceless,
> treasured legacy for future generations. Included are such luminaries as
> Enrico Caruso, Leopold Stokowski, Will Rogers, Nellie Melba, King George V,
> Charles Lindbergh, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Lauder, Adelina Patti, Amos &
> Andy, Robert Peary and dozens of others.
>
> The Victor Talking Machine Company (later RCA Victor) produced countless
> recordings outside their normal domestic catalog issues. The third section
> features ethnic recordings, imports, picture discs, puzzle records,
> subsidiary labels such as Bluebird and Zonophone, contract pressings, pattern
> labels, long-playing Program Transcriptions, vanity issues, childrens
> records, test pressings, radio transcriptions, demo records, soundtrack
> discs, client labels, in-house recordings and sample pressings. There's even
> a page devoted to errors and imitation records!
>
> The fourth section includes pictures of record sleeves, company catalogs,
> supplements and other Victor publications in addition to record release
> charts, rarity guides and a comprehensive bibliography and index. One would
> expect a compendium such as this to be dull and lifeless, but Sherman and
> Nauck's engaging style, attention to detail and brilliant label images make
> the story come alive. The entire book is profusely illustrated in resplendent
> full-color, and will be equally at home on the coffee table or the reference
> shelf. No archive or serious collector should be without it.
>
> $39 Softcover or $60 Hardback (Limited Edition of 500, signed & numbered)
> Add $5 for shipping; check, credit card and paypal accepted.
