Vandaag heb ik twee boekjes gekocht in de 33 1/3-serie. Ik had wat over de serie gelezen op internet. Per boekje wordt één min of meer bekend album behandeld. De schrijver is daarbinnen vrij in hetgeen hij over het album schrijft (tenminste: zo heb ik gelezen). Ik heb de boekjes over The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (nr. 4) en The Velvet Underground and Nico (nr. 11) gekocht. Zijn er mensen die meer weten van de serie? Zo ja, wat zijn de goede, wat zijn de slechte punten? Welke boekjes zijn het leukst/interessants om te lezen? Ben er erg benieuwd naar.

Ik had er nog nooit van gehoord, maar het klinkt wel interessant. Waar koop je die dingen?

Ik kocht ze bij Dekker van de Vegt op het universiteitsterrein in Nijmegen, maar ik ben er inmiddels achter gekomen dat de boekjes ook te koop zijn via bol.com en proxis.nl (je kunt het best zoeken op het ISBN-nummer of de auteur).
