This listing is mostly for informational purposes and an advertising presence on ebay.  While the book is available

for sale from me, if you order it on Amazon, you will get it quicker, and if you don't live in the USA, with much lower

shipping costs.  So please buy it there, though you are welcome to contact me through ebay if you have questions.  Thank you.

Kim Weston has been a music lover from an early age, probably because he grew up in a household where there was always classical music on the radio, or coming from a record player.  Three of his early favorites, even before entering High School,  were Saint-Saens’ Piano Concerto #4, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto #2, and Delibes' Ballet Coppelia.  He has been an audiophile since the 1970s, partly due to the influence of Harry Pearson and The Absolute Sound!   It was TAS! that led to his realization of just how good several old Mercury Living Presence records and RCA Living Stereo records already in his collection were; and how they stood out from most other classical records, in terms of sound quality.   Although he was too young to be buying Mercury and  RCA records during their golden age, he has been buying and enjoying them and other music regularly since the late 1960s, although his interests in music are not exclusively classical.  Kim earned a BA in Liberal Arts at Johns  Hopkins  University, and later, also at JHU, an MS in Education.   He taught Physics and Chemistry for most of his career, and in retirement, still tutors both subjects at a local community college.  He is also well known as a scholar of the work of Carl Barks and has written or contributed to a number of books and essays on the subject which are available on Amazon.  He has also written a number of well-regarded reviews on a variety of topics on Amazon.


The first picture shows both books, followed by individual pictures of the 2 books, and a review of one of the book Mercury Living Presence LPs and CDs published in the March, 2018 issue of the magazine, The Absolute Sound! which is copyrighted by the magazine.

SHIPPING:  Media Mail shipping is free in the USA. International shipping to Europe and elsewhere would be $40-50 or possibly more so I would strongly recommend that Europeans and others interested in the books purchase them on European Amazon sites to take advantage of free or local shipping (but then send me an email with its printing date to let me know you have it and be put on a list for free email updates).  The books are also available on Amazon in the USA.   Payment by PayPal is expected within three days of purchase, but you should email me within 48 hours if you haven't paid within 48 hours.  Any questions?  Send me an email.  Also see my other auctions and my feedback.
