Vinyl Manual: How to get the best from your vinyl records and kit (Haynes Manuals) Hardcover – December 5, 2017

I was driven to pick up the vinyl owners’ workshop manual by a curiosity about what lies beneath the surface of vinyl and the realities of starting my own collection. It’s a personable introduction to vinyl that carefully lays out the basics to ensure you will get the most out of it, if you plan to embark on the pricey journey to getting higher quality music. More than making a vinyl hobby more approachable, it also gives vinyl its own personality with a vivid history of its origins and a peek into the luxuries of the most enthusiastic vinyl loyalists. It’s an entertaining read that is a great place to start for those who are interested in this resurgent format.

Good tips on how to maintain your record collection and turntable. Some good info on how to balance tonearms too.

Very accurate and informative. Great coffee table book.

A great introduction to owning Vinyl Records. Covers every aspect with plenty of pictures. The only thing odd was my book had two Chapter 6 printed in the book.Overall, I would recommend it to anyone that collects records. It would probably appeal to the younger crowd as it covers DJing and Crate digging as well as proper care and maintenance of their collection.

For the budding audiophile or just an average guy that has or will have a turntable. Properly setting up a turntable & cartridge is pretty detailed. Get this book & you should have no problems or surprises.

this book was very informative, lots of great pictures and helpful information

Disappointed. It is for people who don't know much about turntables and a lot of the book is about DJing. No useful information. It touches on the best selling albums of all time, but does not list the top 100 or anything like that. I found it neither very informative nor very entertaining.
