Quality books on hi fi

Here is my trio. The Ortofon book arrived yesterday so not made a start on it yet.
Revolution is great for pictures but not so strong on words.
The Rega is really three books in one, highly recommend if you are a Rega person.
Anyone aware of anything on Naim?

I have a very good hardback book on QUAD, which was issued around 20 years ago.

It’s called something like ‘QUAD : The Closest Approach’, written by Ken Kessler, a former ‘enfant terrible’ of the hifi world.

This is a really good read :-

The first book to comprehensively cover the history of high-end audio design from the 1960s to the present day

That’s looks very interesting, though it’s a bit more expensive than I was expecting!

I’m disappointed Naim’s 50th anniversary has pretty much gone by without a decent commemorative history having been written/published - feels like a missed opportunity to me.

That book has got some of my photos in it… Phaidon paid me but never sent a copy of the book, despite promising to do so! I must chase them up.
