We arrive at the books in stock. We don’t often carry books mainly because the shipping rates on our site are calibrated for CDs. Books are heavier and cost way more to ship. But we don’t have the funds to do more work on the site. (Boohoo! We’ll be fine.)
We have one copy of the really cool book, The Album Cover Art of Soundtracks. I remember really admiring and enjoying this when it came out. Only $12.
We have the hardback first edition, and softcover third edition, of the Lone Eagle Film Composers Guide. I practically wore these out back in the day. Of course nowadays you can get every filmography you want from IMDb, but this didn’t use to be the case. I don’t know how much interest there will be in these, given that they are obsolete and out of date, but they were really important at the time. $15 and $10, respectively.
Our friend R. Mike Murray, “Recordman” to you vintage FSM readers, curated a price guide of Disney LPs from 1933–88. Only $5.
We have a whole box of softbound copies of Charles Fox’s memoir, Killing Me Softly: My Life in Music, for $5. (Don’t ask why!)
On the Track was a seminal film scoring instruction book by Fred Karlin and Ray Wright, intended for composers and musicians. I remember marveling over its examples—the first time you could get a glimpse of the actual orchestrations of so many scores. We have a copy that is severely damaged in the spine. I mean, it’s really messed up. But it’s so heavy to ship, we’re asking $10.
We have a copy of Jon Burlingame’s first edition of TV’s Biggest Hits, his definitive TV music book, for $35. He has since updated it into Music for Prime Time, on Amazon.
Folks might be unaware that composer/orchestrator J.A.C. Redford published his memoir, Welcome All Wonders: A Composer’s Story. We have a copy for $8.
I hope people appreciate that we have way more books in stock? I am only taking a minute to write about things where I have something to say.
Back to CDs:
We have a copy of the BSX re-recording of Vangelis’ The Bounty, performed by Dominik Hauser, for $18.
We have a copy of the terrific 1980s Broughton score, The Boy Who Could Fly, on Intrada for $45. Also a copy of the Dragon’s Domain edition for $12.
We have the Varèse Sarabande CD of Rosenthal’s Brass Target, for $15.
And we have a signed copy (by David Newman) of the Percepto release of The Brave Little Toaster. We’re asking only $25.
More tomorrow!
