Crowood Press (UK) Bang & Olufsen (Crowood Collectors' Series)

This book introduces the world of Bang & Olufsen, from their futuristic audo and hi-fi systems to their elegant television sets and attractive portable models, which have captivated enthusiasts for the best part of four decades. The small Danish company has striven to design items that have stood the test of time, being both technologically innovative and stylish. As a result, their products are amongst those rare things where both form and function come together to create something truly magnificent, both to behold and to listen to. Within the pages of this book, Tim and Nick Jarman take the collector through every model produced by B&O up to the year 2000, as well as providing comprehensive appendices listing which model is compatible with which and giving tips on restoration. Throughout the book you will find specially produced original colour photographs of preserved B&O audio and television equipment, complete with detail views so that you can see every important control and styling feature and really get to know each model. An invaluable book, whether you are looking for just one special model or are assembling a large collection.
