Brilliant book for music lovers and specifically lovers of vinyl. Extremely well researched and brimming with lots of information. I would highly recommend this book.

As a (new) vinyl collector. This book was a fantastic read and filled with some awesome history and images. I plan to get this book for a good friend of mine's birthday this year - it's the perfect gift for the music lover and vinyl collector in your life.

In The Groove was a fun and quick read. My parents bought a stereo console in the late 1950’s. One of the first LP’s they bought was the Smithsonian’s Folksongs collection. The first album I ever bought was by Joan Baez. This is a great history of how the vinyl disc changed our lives!! Everyone had their special artist that they collected as we grew up. We still have a large LP collection and our 1977 turntable. Thank you for the ARC, I loved it!

As a fan of vinyl, this book brought back so many memories. Going to the record store, browsing through the bins, listening to the record/album before buying. This book gives you so much information about vinyl records but also well known record stores and album covers that have stood the test of time. Awesome read. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the author for the ARC of this book in return for my honest opinion. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my review.

As an avid reader and vinyl collector, it was so cool to have two of my favorite hobbies come together in this book. I absolutely loved this. This coffee table style book is broken down into five sections: the history and rise of LPs and vinyl records, information about turntables and vinyl record set ups, vinyl record sleeves and artwork, shopping at record stores, and information around collecting records.

There are beautiful photographs throughout of iconic vinyl records, sleeve art, images from the vinyl making process, and more. There's also a beginner guide to grading, making this a great resource for any vinyl record collector or appreciator.

I will absolutely be buying a physical copy of this book and cannot wait to share it with all of my vinyl collecting friends!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
