Trade size soft-cover,311 pages including 8 pages of record shops featured in the book,not including two pages of acknowledgements. There are also several pages of black and white photographs that,while interesting,don't add much to the book.
As is documented record stores are dying so Graham Jones visits a lot of record stores and documents their histories and interviews the people who work there so us readers know what is going on with music as a physical format.
It's a good book: There are some great anecdotes however the problem lies that the book's not very well written and not all anecdotes are funny.
This book makes a very interesting start but becomes tedious and repetitive in the middle and after. I agree with other readers expressing the opinion that it could have been written in a more interesting way.
