Description
If you enjoy classic jukeboxes, here's a book that you'll want on your bookshelf. It's the book titled Jukebox Saturday Night written by J. Krivine which was originally published in 1977. This is the 1988 edition which was published by The Bucklebury Press of Great Britain to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the jukebox. This book is identical to the original 1977 edition. Jukebox Saturday Night was the first book to document the history of jukeboxes through detailed text and lots of photos, and it's still considered the definitive book about jukeboxes even today. This 9-3/4" X 13-1/2" hardcover book is 160 pages long and filled with stories and photos about jukeboxes and the men who created them. The chapters include "The Evolution of the Talking Machine," "A Nickel in the Slot," "Coin-operated Phonographs in Eclipse," "Radio vs Jazz," "Seeburg," "Capehart," "Wurlitzer," "Rock-Ola," "Seeburg in the 1930s," "Depression, Repeal and After," "The War Years," "Wurlitzer Succumbs to Seeburg's Secret Weapon," "Mills Novelty Company," "Speed Test," "Uncle Sam vs Seeburg," "King of the Title Strips," "Operating (Where's the Mob?)," England," and "1960 Onwards." This book is in perfect mint condition -- it's never been read, and it even comes with the original paper dust jacket, which is also in mint condition.
