Second-hand copies of out-of-print titles can often be found at one or another of the many book stores selling through Amazon.
Many hundreds of record reviews appeared in Jazz Journal from 1984 onwards. Now in its 62nd year of publication, in April 2009 the magazine changed hands and in keeping with the times it now has a website whereon details of subscription rates, et cetera, can be found: Jazz Journal.
Over the years, Bruce Crowther contributed some 5,000 entries to popular music encyclopędias. This work is on-going and soon there will be a new on-line encyclopędia that will very probably end up being the Best Thing On Earth - so, watch this space!
