Excellent, serenechaos, thank you very much. I just bought it.

I was sold to it looking at the Amazons review, particularly those that gave to the book minimum votes:

“This book is excellent as an introduction to room acoustics. But it has no focus on a myriad of other acoustical issues. It should be called 'Master Handbook of Room Acousitics.'”

“Despite its title, this book should better be called Master Handbook of Room Acoustics, as it is primarily and almost solely dedicated to the acoustics of enclosed rooms.”

That is very much in the alley with what I was looking for. I might presume that in the book will be much dedicated to thinking about room as “recording studio”. It is not the thinking pattern that I am interested but I do not need specific recommendation but rather illustrations how other people think about rooms. The negative comments from the readers suggest that I might like the book:

“But, it does have some flaws. Often it doesn't explain things enough; sometimes it's more of a discussion of the topic rather than an explanation.”

“OK, so this does not cover ALL acoustics. If one is interested in recording or playback acoustics, this is THE BEST. As an engineer and producer who has been involved in the construction of a dozen studios…”

Well, it sounds very good to me… Thanks again,
The cat
