marcoliv Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 just released a great book with more than 700 pictures of vynil covers covering discs of Bossa Nova. i know we have some members very interested in Bossa Nova and yesterday i had the chance to have a look on the book and it's amazingly impressive. the book is heavy and its size is 30x30 cm such as vynil cover. here is a weblink (portuguese only, sorry) with some images of the book Bossa Nova LP Covers Book the book costs 199 Reais so it's like 72-75 USD and i'm not sure it's gonna be available abroad Marcus Quote

chris olivarez Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Hopefully some will make it to the US. Quote
spinlps Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Hopefully some will make it to the US. ← Dusty Groove has it for $140 Quote
Jim R Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Hopefully some will make it to the US. ← Dusty Groove has it for $140 ← Yeah, I saw that the other day. From all the info I've seen online over the past several months, it does look like a terriffic book, but... $140 is way outta my range. I'd have to do some soul searching at half that price. Oh well, I've got many of those covers as CD booklets, plus a few in LP form, and a few in the japanese book "Os Discos Da Bossa Nova", which I bought a few years back at Dusty Groove. Congrats, Marcus. I hope you got a good deal! Quote
