Development and publication

edit

Do Not Sell At Any Price grew out of research for a piece Petrusich wrote for Spin circa 2010; in reporting on the renewed commercial interest in vinyl records, she met collector John Heneghan and became interested in the project of record collecting.[1] As a critic inundated by new music seeking review, she was intrigued by the scarcity that drove collectors of 78s.[2]

Petrusich published the 272-page book with Scribner on July 8, 2014.[3]

Reception

edit

Do Not Sell At Any Price was widely and favorably reviewed.[4][5][6] Randall Roberts described the book in the Los Angeles Times as a "thoughtful, entertaining history of obsessed music collectors and their quest for rare early 78 rpm records."[7] In Flavorwire, Jillian Mapes says Petrusich "captures the...weird beauty and legitimate historical importance" of collecting physical records: "This book will make you consider, and possibly rethink, digital music culture."[8] Writing in Paste Magazine, Elias Leight says that even in the context of Petrusich's "stellar resume", Do Not Sell At Any Price may be "her most compelling and inventive [work] yet."[9]
