There are songs I liked that I may have heard at sometime or another but, this is a cd I was looking for because the song Another Lover wasn't just any song I've heard before. This song was one that made me remember the summer of '88 the great memories and how this upbeat dance song made me feel when I heard it on the radio. I was still a young kid at the time but even after twenty years I missed this song and wanted nothing more than to hear it once again. It was great when I finally got my hands on a copy of this disc and couldn't wait to play it. Now I can say Another Lover is still just as great or even better than before and, with tracks like Into You which is my new favorite song and, other rythmic beats like Do You Still Care and the title track The Book of Pride I'm amazed they didn't have more airplay hits. In closing, from what Giant Steps has to offer this is an impressive cd through and through and one that is definitely worth taking the time to hear for yourself.

Giant Steps took a giant leap towards perfection on this album. Book Of Pride is a great 80's pop album that will have you movin' and groovin' !

The Song "Another Lover" is on this which redeems the cd to a degree. IMHO, "Another Lover" is one catchy, infectious, and well crafted pop song. Definitely one of the best 80s mainstream pop tunes around. There is the more familiar radio edit of this tune floating around (and I actually prefer that most) but the album version here is decent enough.

Other than that, nothing else on the album really stands apart except for the follow up single to "Another Lover", "Into You" which is also a winner. Since this cd is next to impossible to find, I would advise it on the merits of pop appeal to anyone with a penchant for 80s synth laced top 40. Again - "Another Lover" is well worth the find and "Into You" is respectable enough as far as pop goes.

I say this is a 'gem' only because the CD is exceptionally hard to find, no longer in print, and basically available only second hand these days. In addition, the song 'Another Lover' is also hard to find these days and basically is about the only reason one would acquire this album to obtain a clean copy of that catchy song. Also, 'Into You' is a favorite of mine...both songs bring back fond memories.
