The JBL Story - 60 Years of Audio Innovation (New Book)

Hope it's not going to be cancelled.
Any publicity value from association with the 60th anniversary is evaporating.

The JBL Story - 60 Years of Audio Innovation that you will never read



Thats the revised title so I was told

[Gordzilla]

It's been so long since I ordered this book that I cannot even find documentation to show if Amazon took money out of my checking account for it.

I have no expectations to ever see this book .

It's a shame, as I bet there was some amazing stuff in there!

Warning -- long and ranting

I have worked in high-performance automotive/racing book publishing -- specialized book publishing in small press runs like this title. I can guess what kind of tense conversations are going on among all the parties concerned about the push-back because I've been in them.

snip . . .

The current cover is boring too -- I'd resurrect/recreate/pay-for in color the old Maxell ad/poster of the sonic boom force sound blowing the guy's (except I'd use a couple) hair back. THAT would say JBL, not pics of drivers (snore). Those go inside. Plus, I'd get Les Paul's name prominent -- use his marketing leverage, the guy is still playing thank goodness! The way they are going he might pass before they get the book out!

I'd better switch to decaf...

Excellent post Wornears, your explanation makes sense out of a seemingly non-sensical situation. Gawd, even books printed overseas, what next, my Wonder Bread from China??

I can't wait to read the high-end rags review of this book. And what about a Bose book?

[Zilch]

Wonder Bread, huh?

Well, that explains a lot....

we visited the in-laws in Vietnam last year. They of course figured that I had to have special food and guess what appeared on the table at dinner ? VnWB.

Books ? Some of the most lavish, beautiful coffee table books that I've seen were printed in Hong Kong.
