Media Reviews
Girl music nerds have been debating Beatles versus Stones and curating their collections for as long as male music snobs, but that perspective has been on low rotation; hail, hail, Courtney E. Smith's Record Collecting for Girls, a mix tape of female rock history, playlists for getting busy and coping with heartbreak, and essential info such as how to decode a dude's CD collection (Yo La Tengo = romantically hapless; Leonard Cohen = asshole). --Vanity Fair Courtney Smith has smarts and sass in spades. Her insights are as hilarious as they are thoughtful and when you finish reading this book, you'll feel like you just got home from a perfect night out with your best friend. And you'll want to listen to Prince. Full volume. --Megan Jasper, Executive Vice President, Sub Pop Records Record Collecting For Girls is an invitation for all of you stereophiles, (who happen to be female), to make your own top five lists, and then, armed and ready with the book's fun facts, to argue their merits to the ever present boys' club of music snobs in your life. --Sarahbeth Purcell, author of Love Is the Drug and This Is Not A Love Song Insightful and hilarious...Smith easily blends her own musical coming-of-age narrative with rock history...This is a book for anyone whose day has a soundtrack and for whom music reigns supreme. --Publishers Weekly

A melodious road map...There is much here that is both interesting and infomative. --Kirkus
