Jamie Fisher - 'Nobody Broke Your Heart: an Intimate Biography of Elliott Smith'
One of the greatest music biographies I've ever read. The book is sublime, loving, critical, investigative, analytical.

Lorenza Mazzetti - 'The Sky is Falling'
A masterpiece on thought, childhood, adulthood, humanity, and, ultimately, of transcendence through the eyes of children.
Holly Pester - 'Cafés'
A thought–provoking collection of controlled ruminations, filtered through cafés.
Peter Relic - 'Bust a Move: Matt Dike, Delicious Vinyl, and the Hip-Hop Hits That First Conquered Pop'
A impassioned, needed, and arrhythmic book about a groundbreaking record label and its great artists and producers.
John Robb - 'Punk Rock Ruined My Life: and Other Stories'
A messy collection of memories from a life as a music lover, a punk musician, and a music writer.
Scott Meslow - 'A Place Both Wonderful and Strange: the Extraordinary Untold History of Twin Peaks'
A marvellous book about Twin Peaks, how it came to be, how it was reborn, and its everlasting legacy.
Scott Eden - 'A Killing in Cannabis'
A book that should have been trimmed down and kept as exciting as its start, is not.
C. Thi Nguyen - 'The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else's Game'
A valuable but vexing book on games in relation to philosophy.
