3.0 out of 5 stars Well written,but content poor., March 5, 2008
By James Harrison (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The latest edition in this series sees the continuing trend of the editors to choose articles for the quality of the writing rather than the interest of the subject. Whilst their objective is admirable, but not altogether succesfull, I have purchased this series, since inception, as a music fan and frankly the subject matter has been poor in recent years.
