fascinating and informative, Sep 18 2011
By J. Steven Moore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Acoustics Of Performance Halls (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is an easy read, with just the right amount of technical information. Anyone who is in the position of making decisions regarding music performance spaces should read this book. I plan to purchase another one to share with administrators who will decide on the scope and funding of performance spaces.J. Steven Moore, author of Play It From the Heart: What you learn from music about success in life.

A fine book marred by graphics, July 3 2011
By SR71 Dude "Mac" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Acoustics Of Performance Halls (Hardcover)
J. Christopher Jaffe's book is a rich discussion of the art and science of performance hall acoustics. As other reviewers have noted it is "lavishly illustrated." Indeed the photographs are striking.Unfortunately some technical graphics are so dark and small as to render them almost useless. This may be a fault of the Chinese printers or perhaps the editor's choice of thumbnail size inserts. The blame doesn't matter but the quality should have been corrected before issuing the book.
Dr. Jaffe deserves better.
