The Vinyl Revival and the Shops That Made it Happen is the story of how a format that looked to be heading to the musical junkyard to join the wax cylinders, 8-track tapes and Laserdiscs, made a comeback of Lazarus proportions. It is told through the eyes of those who made it happen: the independent record shops. They saved the format and the format saved them. The book explains why we have more than a hundred more record shops than we had in 2009 - and why it is so important we give them our support.
