BIBLIOGRAPHY
Any further interest in 78 Quarterly magazine starts and ends with its twelve issues. Even if you are not a 78 collector, there is still a ton of historical information on old time music for your enjoyment. There are usually a number of used copies for sale on eBay.
Note: Regarding the original two issues of 78 Quarterly from the 1960s, they are now rarer than many of “The Rarest 78s” they featured.

As to any individual’s compelling need to collect such items as 78 records, and the importance of understanding the psychology behind “collecting” versus “hoarding”, there is an insightful 20-page illustrated booklet, by longtime 78 collector Richard Nevins that accompanies the CD set, The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of, issued in 2006 by Yazoo Records.
