To me, this has become a serious defect in the guide. BUT, this is still the best guide to jazz recordings in many respects, especially if you share Cook's predilections or if you are a collector of historic jazz from any era.
Also: the policy of only including CDs in print is self-defeating in a world where the used market makes practically everything available always.
It is probably long since time that the Cook & Morton's reviews over the many editions were collected on DVD. THAT would get a 5-star review from me. ( )
