content: Yeah, you and everyone else.Smart-ass answers aside, I've foundhttps://www.abebooks.com(in the USA) to be a good place to look for used books. Looks like they have the 2nd edition, maybe others? Of course, ebay, too.Let me know if you find a copy. There are several sections I'd love to read. Maybe we could work something out.

content: Thank you DuckDuck. The problem isn't finding one. I just can't believe the price. There are a number on Amazon also. Looks like $150-$200 is the basic price. More if you want one in new condition. Someone at work swiped my copy. Figures.Thank you jonpaul. The shipping from France would be a lot - this is a heavy book. I am in Texas.-45O

content: hello kbrill,Do I understand you to mean that you have multiple editions for sale? At this point, any edition is worth considering, since this work does not pretend to be a collection of audio circuits, but instead it is a reference for various standards used in the industry as well as discussion about basic principles (as we all know). Interesting that I contacted a couple of suppliers that advertise the book, describe its condition and other details, but don't actually have it in stock. Strange. I had no idea that this work would be bringing in multiple hundreds of dollars. In that case, they should have a new printing. Makes sense to me anyway.At this point I hereby withdraw my search for this work.Thanks all!-45O

content: If you are ok with a digital copy to look at, the 1969 Second Edition is on the worldradiohistory website. As well as every other book that is no longer printed and decades old (mostly radio related).

content: I do not know anything about any of these (and I am starting to feel that I should), but what about the "new" audio cyclopedia, edited by Ballou?

content: They are large audio reference books, the Audio Cyclopedia was written by one person and Handbook for Sound Engineers has been several authors covering the 80s onward, initially though it was intended as an update to the Audio Cyclopedia.
