- The Steven's Guide is also quite nice. Often, you can find this
- right at the counter of a good classical music outlet like Tower Records.
- It's usually somewhat tattered and chained to the wall because lots
- of people flip through
- it when they're trying to decide between any choice of recordings.
- It's kind of like Consumer Reports. If you're not sure what you're
- doing, avoid the filled-in black circles.
