This is a wonderful collection of information about Crosby, Stills & Nash, and the photographs bring the reader even closer to the band. This information has been collected over years and years and is a ’must read’ for anyone interested in the band. I’ve enjoyed reading and looking at these stories for a while now and I’m pleased that you get a chance to do the same.” Graham Nash, June 20th, 2022, New York City. Music is Love is the result of more than forty years of dedication to the music of Crosby, Stills & Nash by author Francesco Lucarelli. He began collecting different official releases, bootlegs and magazines from all over the world, and when he founded the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fanzine Wooden Nickel, fans from all corners of the globe shared their stories and memorabilia. This is the largest collection of Crosby, Stills & Nash stories and visuals ever put together – tickets, playbills, backstage passes, flyers, laminated passes, posters, magazine covers, picture-sleeve singles, as well as many never-seen-before photographs. The result is an amazing journey covering almost six decades of music with contributions from all five continents.

"It's All Too Much - Adventures of a Teenage Beatles Fan in the '60s and Beyond" is the unique memoir by music industry veteran David Stark, who grew up in north London during the 1960s as a dedicated Beatles fan and was lucky enough to meet his musical heroes on various memorable occasions. From gate-crashing the Yellow Submarine film premiere in 1968 (aged just fifteen) and ending up sitting directly behind the group, to meeting them individually in some extraordinary circumstances, Stark has some highly entertaining stories about his many Beatles encounters which have never been told before\nStark's stories don't end with the 1960s, as he continued to encounter all the individual Beatles into the 1970s and beyond, culminating in 2006 when Sir Paul McCartney inducted him as a 'Companion of LIPA' at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts for his work with songwriting students. He also knew the late Sir George Martin, who has his own chapter in the book, as does John Lennon's legendary Aunt Mimi, whom David visited and became friends with just months after Lennon's senseless murder in 1980.\nStark is also a life-long drummer who plays with the Trembling Wilburys tribute band, as well as having played with The Quarrymen on one memorable occasion. He was also responsible for the erection of an official Blue Plaque for the late Brian Epstein at his old offices next to the London Palladium; and was one of a small group who, in 2019, achieved the placing of a long-awaited Blue Plaque at 3 Savile Row to mark the Beatles' final live appearance on the roof of Apple in 1969.

Official book with Simple Minds 
Simple Minds are one of the UK's most successful bands, having achieved six No.1 albums in the UK as well as hitting the top spot in countless other territories including Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. 
Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years selling over 60 million records. Catching the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured. 
They topped the American chart with Don't You (Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with Belfast Child. Three of their 20 studio albums reached number one in the UK, they starred at Live Aid and they played three momentous London shows in honour of Nelson Mandela. 
A spellbinding touring band, that have graced the world's biggest stadiums, Simple Minds are now marking their 40th anniversary with a live album, a career-spanning compilation and this new book. 
Heart of the Crowd is an official oral history of Simple Minds, mixing over 800 fan anecdotes with those of band members and other collaborators and with an introduction written by Jim Kerr. The book also features never before seen photographs, collectable memorabilia and fans pictures capturing their live performances.
