Testimonials ⭐

Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of color photos, meticulously researched, and put together with an obvious love of the underappreciated record adapter (also know as an insert, spider, spindle adapter, etc). A must-have for lovers of obscure or unusual music formats as well, this beautiful hardcover is a wonderful record of Bob's ever-expanding collection, and a time-capsule for future media historians into the lowly world of these plastic and metal afterthoughts that allowed a few generations of music lovers to enjoy the tunes that they loved, no matter their physical size.
