Bill Wolfe, Editor Car Stereo Review "The Compact Disc Handbook is an utter must-read for
anyone remotely involved in the technical side of digital audio. Ken Pohlmann elevates the
science, physics and engineering side of digital audio into something as fun to read and
as fascinating as a top-flight mystery novel. This is a superb reference and learning
book." "It's easy to see why Ken Pohlmann has become the most widely read author in
professional audio today. The book is indispensable for anyone interested in the future of
the recording industry." "This is an essential source book for anyone requiring clear, authoritative
information on the inner workings of the Compact Disc system. The new edition improves on
the original in almost every respect and brings it thoroughly up to date - I wouldn't be
without it." "Here is an interesting, timely, well-written book in which everything you ever
wanted to know about the compact disc and more is explained." "Pohlmann has the rare knack of making the abstruse simple. This
is a masterful treatment. Recommended with no reservations!"
