As someone who buys A LOT of music, but doesn't necessarily care that much about the format it's on (unless it's a really crappy mp3), it's interesting to read this book and try and find that line between having to have the music vs. having to have a collectible item. I will admit I've done the same for certain artists, but this is something of a psychological study of collecting without being clinical. Many of these folks even recognize their obsessions and seem to get that it's beyond being about just hearing and experiencing music, though I do think there is something to wanting to be as close to the original recording as possible, which most digital technologies seem to push the listener further away. Overall, a fun book for anyone into music or into collecting anything else. ]]>
