What books do others own on the New Wave genre? Has anyone seen a book containing concert posters or albums focusing on New Wave genre? Has there been anything written on music videos? Here is what I own:

2) Trosure Press Record Guide
Thanks in advance for your comments or recommendations. Regards Tracy

Oh yes - - I too have a copy of the New Music. Unfortunately at the age of 14 it seemed OK to cut out the cool color pic's and plaster my bedroom wall with them - it did serve as a great intro to alot of bands at the time, though.
