More About From Betamax to Blockbuster: Video Stores and the Invention of Movies on Video
This book does have a few slow moments, particularly the introduction. It comes across as overly academic at times and I think it would have been better with a little tweaking toward mass appeal.Nonetheless there are lots of really good stories here about the hobbyists who started the videotape revolution, what motivated them and how... This book probably does not have wide appeal, since we all have DVD players now, but the sections about early vcr owners is great geek history. I love the idea of people spending $15 for a blank tape. pop culture/history buffs, movie/culture historians, those interested technology & culture
