NEW BOOK: AMERICAN COIN-OPERATED INSTRUMENTS

The Automatic Musical Instrument Collectors' Association (AMICA) is an educational non-profit organization with worldwide appreciation of historic automatic musical instruments. They're publishing a new book co-authored by Dave Bowers. While coins and tokens aren't the primary focus, you can bet they'll be featured and you can count on learning a lot about this fun topic. -Editor

Coin-Operated Encyclopedia cover AMICA is proud to announce this long-awaited publication of The Reblitz Bowers Encyclopedia of American Coin-Operated Pianos and Orchestrions and Related Instruments. The title says it all!
