We recommend the Bomp Bookshelf for its fine lists of all books on music. Select the icon at right for a link to its Musical Fiction pages. We’re proud that both Pink Cadillac and Cutting Time have received the rare Bomp Pick. We also mourn the passing of Bomp's founder, Greg Shaw, in 2004. Greg was a strong supporter of Coral Press and a great guy.
