From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of various music-related books I own that I can use to assist on a variety of Wiki articles. I have other books of course (some day I'll list them all, and then you can bug me to help you on Captain Marvel (DC Comics) and Ivan the Terrible), but music has been my primary area of contribution on Wikipedia. If you see something you want me to pull off my bookshelf and start referencing, leave me a note on my talk page.

Oh, and ignore the page title. It's not just alt-rock books here. I just don't want to delete old subpages.
