Reference books are *fun* again

A bibliography lists books and magazine articles about its subject. Mr. Perone described the articles so well that I'm going to get some rolls of dimes for the copiers, go to my library, and get some of these articles.

Lots of Information

The book contains much information on articles and books on orchestration. Great for the musician and theory teacher.

Paul Simon: A Bio-Bibliography (Bio-Bibliographies in Music)

Published in Hardcover by Greenwood Publishing Group (30 January, 2000)

Author: James E. Perone

Amazon base price: $74.95

Average review score:

Money for nothing

In a nutshell this is a very expensive 11 page biography followd by almost 200 hundred pages of bibliography. The biography has nothing that is not well know to Simon's fans. The bibliography can be gotten for a lot less money with a good search engine. Even with a casual glance at the bibliography ommisions were apparent.

Good Guide to Sources

While the biography is short -- as are all the ones in Greenwood's series -- this is a good annotated guide to information on Paul Simon, with a focus on his work as a songwriter.
