The Music Library is an absolutely fantastic book featuring the artwork from 300+ library music albums. Compiled by Jonny Trunk, who really, really knows about this stuff. This is a truly beautiful artefact.
I haven't gone to the trouble of trying to capture the images in the book, as this is a delight which really needs to be experienced via the medium of holding it in your hands and looking at it. You know what I mean.
The good news is that this comes with CD of library music expertly selected by Trunk, which achieves the dual purpose of being both a solid introduction and yet highly desirable collection of the genre in it's own right.
Limited copies still available here. It's worth it, I promise.
