Look it up on Google Books - it's all there viewed in the UK (but without pictures).
Quite an academic and philosophical look and audio, and our relationship with audio technology.
Interesting ideas in Chapter 3 that, like the "media" from most previous times, we will eventually enough lose most of our digital audio. (not sure I believe that). Interesting thoughts on our desire to hold on to the past.
Chapter 6 talks about a specific genre of pop music that was quickly sidelined, and so is particularly the realm of collectors, and very nostalgic.
I loved the early Chapter where it described how no one really know what to do with a tape recorder.
Great stuff. Written more from a philosophical than engineering background, but if that doesn't annoy you, you might find it interesting. I learnt something.
Cheers,
David.
