Summary: There are TWO "first" books! (IGNORE RATING)
Review: My Amazon.com search found two titles of the "first" book, by almost identical names. They not only have a different numbers of pages but also have different Copyright dates! They do, however, have the same author!One is Blue Note: Album Cover Art.
127-128 pages. ©1991. Another is Blue Note: The Album Cover Art.
288 pages. ©2002. This should help when making comparisons. (The Amazon.com submission page would not allow me to not rate this book. But I wanted to include this important information for the buyer. Please ignore my rating since, as of this writing, I have not seen this book.) Regards,
Stephen Anthony DeVore, Seattle, WA / Kirkland, WA (Washington), USA.
HalleluYah! Praise Yah!

Summary: Average follow-up to stellar first book
Review: The second book has three main problems: 1) The cover art is not nearly as original and creative as the art in the first book. 2) The jazz albums are not as prominent or important as the albums in the first book; therefore, this book is not as historically important as the first. 3) The books are two different sizes; they should line up side-by-side on the bookshelf or look like they were designed as a 2-volume set on your coffee table. Buy the first book, but I recommend you just check this one out from the library.

Summary: Second only by title.
Review: This edition of Blue Note album covers rests so well along with the first edition of this series. This book is great because it features a lot of really obscure Blue Note album covers and some more popular ones. This book really makes you miss vinyl albums. A must have.
Later printings of this book are the same size as Volume I - this wasn't the case before - It was shaped different and I only gave it 4 stars - The publisher fixed the problem and it is now a 5 star gem!
