A most interesting book on disc recording, which has been out of print for more than 10 years, is now available as a high-res PDF file on CD-ROM.
DISK RECORDING 1930-1960 by Robert K. 'Bob' Morrison features a profusely-illustrated description of equipment and techniques during this formative period in sound recording, plus a lot of Bob's own anecdotal recollections from his longtime employment in the audio industry.
Bob died in 2003 without seeing his book in distribution. The digital reprint is through the courtesy of Bob's widow, Pat, who will receive the full $15 sale price collected from sales of this book.
In the 'digital age' it is easy and tempting to copy something like this and pass it around. Those of us who have volunteered our time and effort to the project hope to appeal to you DIYers' sense of fair play in this regard.

I purchased this book as a direct Download from Jim. It can be purchased for 15$. It is a high quality scan. Highly recommended. Get it while you can. The book is fantastic. I had a hard copy version, but foolishly borrowed it to a "friend".
This book provides amazing insight in the heyday of transcription disk recording, with technical detail, pictures, first hand accounts of what it was like.
A must-have for anyone interested in disk cutting
