John W. Landon, himself a theatre pipe organist, has written the first history of the theatre pipe organ. He traces its development from church organ to a theatrical instrument that took the place of a piano. Landon also discusses the pipe organ's later emergence as a solo instrument, its use in radio broadcasting and phonograph records, and its present uses. The book also includes a history of those companies that built theatre organs and biographical sketches of some of the leading theatre organists. The appendixes list theatre organ installations around the world.

Wurlitzer pipe organs provided the voice of the silent screen in hundreds of movie palaces worldwide. Explore the history of the creation and building of the Mighty Wurlizer in 800 pages including 1000 images, archival documents and factory records. This book had been thought lost since the death of the author in 1992. Jeff Weiler, an organbuilding colleague of the author, has worked ten years to reconstruct the book and reassemble scattered materials working from a copy of the original typescript. The book has been published by The American Theatre Organ Society in recognition of their golden anniversary.

When the Radio City Theatres complex was conceived by New York's Associated Architects in the 1930's, the RKO Roxy Theatre was an important part of the scheme. Later renamed the Center Theatre due to a lawsuit over the use of the name "Roxy" by the owners of S.L. Rothafel's original "cathedral," the brilliantly designed building is the only major portion of Rockefeller Center to ever be destroyed. It fell to the wreckers in 1954 in a time when a full appreciation for its deco and moderne style had not come to fruition. It is a regrettable part of man's destructiveness in the name of progress. This photo-essay will show the reader why the Center was such a loss not only for the City, but for the world. Perhaps the greatest loss of all was the magnificent Wurlitzer organ on which this volume is focused. The organ's journey and partial salvation will be appreciated by laymen and theatre organ enthusiasts alike.
