🔴 Condition - Good 🔴

Rob Fleming is a London record store owner in his 30s whose girlfriend, Laura, has just left him. At the record shop, named Championship Vinyl, Rob and his employees Dick and Barry spend their free moments discussing mix-tape aesthetics and constructing 'top-five' lists of anything that demonstrates their knowledge of music.
Rob, recalling his five most memorable breakups, sets about getting in touch with the former girlfriends. Eventually, Rob's re-examination of his failed relationships and the death of Laura's father bring the two of them back together. Their relationship is cemented by the launch of a new purposefulness to Rob's life, which in the book is the revival of his disc jockey career.
Rob also resolves his ongoing desire to be interested in other women by realizing that they're only fantasies, since he hasn't seen their negative, less-appealing sides while his relationship with Laura is impartial. He decides that the overall happiness and fulfillment his relationship with Laura brings are worth the occasional downsides.
REVIEWERS COMMENTS
'Reading High Fidelity is like listening to a great single. You know it's wonderful from the minute it goes on, and as soon as it's over you want to hear it again because it makes you feel young, and grown up and puts a stupid grin on your face all at the same time. If the book was a record, we would be calling it an instant classic. Because that's what it is' - Suzanne Moore, Guardian
'Made me laugh out loud more than any book I can remember' - Tony Parsons, Daily Telegraph
