On Saturday, while browsing in a second-hand bookshop, I
can across a battered copy of "High Fidelity Valve Amplifiers"
by Lewis Yorke.

It was on the shelf marked "Science Fiction"

Much of the contents of the Standard could well be classed as Science
Fiction.

Well SF should contain some plausible 'science', so I'd probably classify
most newspapers as 'fantasy' rather than SF. ;-)

Yup, valve gear has only one real reason for existence - relieving
