This looks like a good book... if I can find one at a decent price.
The Mood Modern - The story of two of the world's greatest recorded music libraries: KPM (1956-1977) and Bruton Music (1978-1980)

Would definitely recommend it. I bought it when it came out from Amazon. Just went online to check if it was still available and it’s £29.99. I didn’t pay that but you may be able to get it elsewhere cheaper. Keep your eye on the price anyway as they do fluctuate on Amazon.

Slightly cheaper if you go to the publisher direct:  duttonvocalion.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=VOCBK1802

Genuinely one of the best books I've ever read, and one which I return to a lot

Ordered it on Amazon through the publisher's page. Now to wait... (music please...)
