Renowned photographer and publisher Eilon Paz returns with Dust & Grooves: Further Adventures in Record Collecting, a sequel to his 2014 best-selling Dust & Grooves, highlighting over 150 of the world’s most fascinating and accomplished vinyl collectors, bridging stunning images with extensive interviews, and revealing the motives and backstories behind the global record-collecting community.

He is also publishing Portables: A Visual & Historical Exploration of 222 Vintage Portable Turntables, a 470-page hardcover book featuring highly detailed photos and comprehensive research on 222 portable vinyl record players, sourced from the collections of Paola Puente, Kalle Aldis Laar, Eric Cohen, Bas Bogerd and Mark Cruz.

Ten years after the first Dust & Grooves release, with vinyl’s consistent surge in popularity, Further Adventures digs deeper than its predecessor, underscoring gorgeous collections from astute, everyday enthusiasts to venerated DJs, musicians and producers. Veteran journalist and editor David Ma (Wax Poetics, NPR, Rolling Stone) handles the editorial end of this sequel, making Further Adventures a cultural leader in the field, expertly accentuating the world’s unifying devotion to vinyl.

Portables features lavish, detailed photos of 222 portable turntables from around the world, including rare record players from Japan, the UK, Germany and the Soviet Union as well as the USA, and ranging in vintage from the 1920s to the early twenty-first century. Once considered little more than a children’s plaything or a grade school accessory, the portable record player has gained newfound respect in recent years. Whatever they may lack in high-end audio fidelity, battery-powered turntables more than make up for it with their convenience and ease of use. They’re all gorgeously captured here by photographer Eilon Paz, with accompanying commentary from music historian Dan Epstein.
