FREE Obsolete Sony book for paid subscribers

A year ago, I opened paid subscriptions for Obsolete Sony.

I didn’t know exactly what would happen. I knew people cared about the posts, the old devices, the forgotten formats, and the strange corners of Sony history. But asking people to directly support the work felt different.

Then many of you subscribed.

That support helped turn Obsolete Sony into something bigger than a social media account. It gave me more room to write, research, build the archive, work on books, dig through old catalogs, and take this project seriously as a long-term record of Sony’s history.

So I want to give something back.

Paid subscribers will receive a digital copy of my first book, Sony Year by Year, at no extra cost.

This is the book I spent two years working on. It was created as an unofficial visual journey through more than seven decades of Sony history, covering the products, milestones, and moments that shaped the company from its early years to its place in electronics, music, film, gaming, and culture.

It was also the first major Obsolete Sony book project, backed by over 1,000 people on Kickstarter. So this isn’t just a bonus file. It’s a real piece of the larger Obsolete Sony project, and I want paid subscribers to have a copy they can keep.Read more
