Luxury book publisher Phaidon just released another coffee table stunner, Hi-Fi, which gives an inside look at the world of old school audio design.

Tracing high-end audio through its early days in the 1950s to today and even tomorrow, the stylish hardcover comprehensively covers all kinds of equipment including turntables, solid-state amplifiers, vacuum tubes, valve amps, horn-loaded speakers, and much more.

Due out Oct. 30 and available for pre-order on Amazon now, this is a great score for obsessive audiophiles, obviously, but also anyone who appreciates great design.
