It's good to see DJ Shadow's 1996 debut LP Endtroducing...getting the 33 1/3 treatment: the series of smart pocket-size books...canonizing classic albums. -- Laurence Phelan * The Independent * From DJ [Shadow]'s passion for music to his involvement in mixing and interactions with some of the key electronica wizards of modern times, any who would understand the man or his music needs Endtroducing in their collection. * The Midwest Book Review * The book on DJ Shadow’s flawless masterpiece Endtroducing is a thing of joy to sink into and emerge from, frantically searching for your copy of the record. * Manchester Review of Books * The 33 1/3 series, published by Continuum, is one of the best things that happened to the music press in the last years.... One of my biggest dreams is to open in Israel a publishing house that will focus exactly on that subject - rock literature. And if one day I'd get to do this, one of the first things that I'd do is buy the translation rights for the 33 1/3 series...This is a candy store that's full of fun for curious and hungry music lovers. It's also such a small and smart series, that... is a blessing, and it's not expensive either....The book is recommended to anyone who loves this album and wants to have a look behind the curtains. -- Guy Hajaj * Haoneg.com, 2006 *
