Music books
Music writing is a broad shelf: band biographies, criticism, histories of jazz, rock and folk, the classical repertoire, and theory for anyone who wants to know why the chord works. Below is what we hold today. Stock sits in London and New York and changes daily.
If the book you want went out of print with the band, that is normal. Send us the title and we will look for it.
