Great technical and historical addition to one's library collection. Thanks to Aspen Pittman and Groove Tubes. The only drawback is that the book is listed as including a "CD" of schematics, but isn't included in my copy. However, most, if not all of those schematic files are easily obtained elsewhere.

I've bought and read this long ago. It stands the test of time. It's superb. Even if you're just a regular "Joe" tube amp lover/connoisseur, player, or an amp tech, this should be in your library if not on your coffee table.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found it was much, much
larger than I thought it was going to be. The last edition of that book I
had the opportunity to use (The Tube Amp Book) was a standard size and the schematics were difficult for an old guy to see. Blowing them up on a copier wasn't much help as that just made a fuzzy larger schematic with values and component notations could not be read easily, or at all. This edition features crisp, clean full size schematics that one can work with.
