A Useful Overview sloy I had high hopes for this book, certainly the collaboration fo Spielberg and Williams is worthy of a significant volume. But this little book is barely 48 pages long and does not really go into much musical detail. The author is French, and has done his own translation into Englis for the book - which is rather commendable - but there is not much in the way of scholarly citations to back up the writing.
