<<|[[HistoryTrail|]]|>> **Books** %center% %height=200px% http://meta-studies.net/pmwiki/uploads/EMG_Story.jpg *The most comprehensive source of information about the history and construction of these wonderful gramophones is provided in: Francis James, //The E.M.G. Story//, Old Bakehouse Publications, Gwent, UK, November 1998. The book may be purchased from [[http://www.amazon.com/The-EMG-Story-Francis-James/dp/1874538271|amazon.com]] or, it appears, (more cheaply) from [[http://www.prohealthcarevitamins.com/for%20sale.html|Chunny - via his GramophoneMuseum website]], or possibly even [[http://www.oldbakehouseprint.co.uk/artsandcrafts.html|from the publisher]] if they still have it in print. **Websites** *[[http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewforum.php?f=11|The Talking Machine Forum (British and European Machines]] offers an ongoing forum for E.M.G. collectors, many of whom are extremely expert, to exchange views and information. It is an invaluable resource. *[[http://gramophone-collecting.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=6&sid=7257b3f20d400fea033a92bc8d518c45|The Gramophone Collecting Forum]] also carries expert commentary]], replacing in 2011 earlier expert commentary on [[http://gramophones.myfreeforum.org/forum3.php|The International Gramophone Forum - EMG and Expert Handmade Gramophones]] which for technical reasons had to be archived. The commentary has a notable preference for the products of the competing Expert Handmade Gramophones Company (established by Mr E.M. Ginn in 1930, after he left the E.M.G. company). *[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.M.G._Hand-Made_Gramophones|The Wikipedia entry on E.M.G. Hand-made Gramophones]] provides a useful summary, seemingly largely extracted from the work by Francis ("Frank") James. *[[http://www.gramophones.info/gramophones.2010-40.emg.html|Ian Calderbank (UK)'s website]] provides useful relevant information. **Documents** *[[http://meta-studies.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=OtherObjects.EMG1934Catalogue|EMG Catalogue from ~1934]] **Additional suggestions?** Feel free to [[http://meta-studies.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Contact|email me]] on further sources of information that might usefully be added here. <<|[[HistoryTrail|]]|>>
