|title= How Music Got Free: The Inventor, the Music Man, and the Thief
|rating= 4
|genre= Business and Finance
|summary= In the digital age, new technology made recorded music a free-for-all. It was good news for the consumer, but dealt a major blow to the beleaguered music industry. Where people once amassed physical collections, they now had the choice of file-sharing instead. This book describes how everything changed from the mid-1990s onwards. It is however written more with the computer enthusiast or business student than the music lover in mind.

|summary=It's not a useful thing, to have sniffy presumptions, when you're a humble book reviewer. The same applies of course in the world of cinema, and a lot else besides, but I do have to admit to be really quite dubious about the thought of a live action remake of Cinderella, even before seeing, reading or hearing anything on which to form a proper judgement. Did the world need it, I wondered – the original was great enough, and surely so much a sine qua non in animation history. What would some new young cast members, and Kenneth Branagh, add to – or possibly would they overlay – decades of cinema audiences' joint memory? Surely it would be a pig's ear. Well, if this luscious first book regarding the new film is any indication, it's actually going to be pretty good. The format of film tie-in guides itself doesn't always engender much hope in the likewise prejudiced – but I confirm this, too, is an item well worth bearing in mind.
