Steve Hackett: Genesis Revisited - Live at the Royal Albert Hall (Limited Artbook Edition)
by John Kelman

Busnoys: Weaving The Spell
by Bruce Lindsay
Sometimes the world is easy to understand. Mostly, it's a puzzle. Take magic, for example--how does that work? Ask Busnoys, a vibes/bass guitar/drums trio from Bristol in England's West Country.
