Format:Paperback
I am currently studying media at college and having to do a module on popular music. I found this book extremely helpful and would recommend it to people interested in or studying popular music. Everything I needed was included in the book, other than the different genres it gave information on the other aspects of the music world.
An excellent purchase to anyone with interest.
