Bang & Olufsen (Crowood Collectors' Series)

Really nice book for the B&O fan. Lovely pictures, product detail and collecting guides.

The book ordered arrived promptly and in first class condition making me a very satisfied customer.

The book started well but the ending was pretty crappy. I expected that the writer might end with a big explosion or a dramatic love scene, but all I got was another bloody photo of a television.

Worth reading. A lot of interesting info. More Thank I expected

Very very informative and covers all B&O products in a chronological serie.

Good book of B&O

I can't imagine how I overlooked this book when it was first published around Dec 08. For those of us catching up on models ignored over the years or for new collectors it makes great reading, providing great photographs and descriptions of B&O equipment from the 60's up to around the year 2000. The only thing really lacking in the whole publication is a truly comprehensive products list..... the author's Beocentral website includes several more models and variations than they've been able to cover within the book itself. I just hope that I can collect all that I want in B&O before this book makes the products even more desirable (and expensive) by spreading the word!

great and complete book. loved it and I recomend for all Bang & Olufsen entusiasts. trying to find more literature about them

INTRODUCTION 1925 TO 1964:THE EARLY YEARS 1964 TO 1969:NEW MARKETS, NEW TECHNOLOGIES 1970 TO 1979:A DECADE OF ACHIEVEMENT 1980 TO 1989:THE MICROPROCESSOR AGE 1990 TO 2000:THE SURVIVAL YEARS PRACTICAL COLLECTING SYSTEM BUILDER などなど書いてあります。 本の終わりのシステムビルダーは歴代システムのデータ表です。 互換性を見ながらシステムを構成するのに良いかと思います。 私としては写真を見ているだけでもB&Oのデザインは洗練されていてカッコイイの一言。 機能と美しさを両立しています。

Il est vrai que le Design exceptionnel de cette marque B&O, est un emblème, une réussite... Je suis un passionné qui reste dans les appareils des années 1980 à 2005... des années d'or avec les Beosound Ouverture, Beocenter 2300, Beosystem 2500 et la fameuse beosound 9000 avec ses enceintes Beolab 8000, en forme de tuyaux d'orgue. Beaucoup de des éléments sont exposés au musée des Arts modernes, à New York... Il est vrai que je négocie quelques éléments de ma collection pour en acheter d'autres, c'est le but que toute collection! Si vous avez besoins de renseignements, faites-moi signe !

Very definitive. A must have.

Very inclusive of the important components in Bang & Olufsen's history.

An excellent overall look at the world of B&O, and indispensable for collectors or just aficionados of the brand. Nicely written, presented and lavishly illustrated, though it doesn't cover every single model the company has produced. The tips on what to watch out for when buying secondhand were particularly interesting. The book addresses more practical ownership issues than the 'other' current B&O coffee-table book which focuses more on the actual design ethos.
