The Album Cover Art of Soundtracks
by Frank Jastfelder and Stefan Kassel, Foreword by Saul Bass
Out of Print Book! Limited Quantities!
This 1997 coffee table book is a stunning collection of soundtrack LP
covers. From paintings to photographs to designs, from westerns to blaxploitation
to sexploitation, it's a gorgeous dossier of vivid artwork, with covers
both ubiquitous and rare. The book is sized like an LP jacket (12"
by 12"), allowing many of the best covers to be reproduced full-scale.
Take a trip down memory lane, or experience these powerful images for the
first time. This German-published book originally sold for $29.95--it's
now out-of-print, to boot, but we have obtained a limited number of copies
for our faithful readers.

The Score: Interviews with Film Composers
by Michael Schelle
Some of FSM's best-ever features have been the interviews with film
composers--the question-and-answer format gives the reader a sense of the
personality involved. The Score (1999) is in that conversational
tradition, featuring lengthy transcripts with Barry, Bernstein, Blanchard,
Broughton, Chihara, Corigliano, Howard, Isham, Licht, McNeely, T. Newman,
Shaiman, Shore, Walker and C. Young. The author is himself a composer,
and the conversations, while not wholly technical, pry deeply and precisely
into the composers' ideas.

Getting the Best Score for Your Film: A Filmmakers'
Guide to Music Scoring
by David Bell
Respected television composer David Bell wrote this book in 1994 to
help producers and directors get the most out of film music. It's aimed
at filmmakers, but also provides useful professional information to composers
and musicians--or any fan interested in the process. Topics include spotting,
communicating, recording, budgeting and licensing, with explanations of
the various personnel and entities involved in each; also included are
lists of agents, clearance companies, glossary terms and resources.
