    - Music Reference Books published by Krause Publications

      This bibliography page lists "general" Music Reference Books with discographies and/or biographies for many different musicians published by
Krause Publications, Inc., 700 E. State St., Iola, WI 54990-0001 -- (715) 445-2214 (Wikipedia)

      Even though Krause has a music books page on their site, Krause Publications: Records & Music, I cannot find anywhere on their site a complete detailed list of every editon of every "general" Music Catalog they have ever published. I do not collect them, so books Krause has published about individual musicians, like Elvis and the Beatles, or downloads of any kind are not included. Below are listed all 70+ known "general" Krause Music Reference Books in my own personal collection {A}, all titles I have seen in local Wisconsin libraries {C}{F} etc. and/or at on-line dealers {B}, this page is at least a start towards such a complete list.

      This page also lists a few books by other publishers, but only if they were part of a multiple edition title in which at least one edition was published by Krause. These books are not given sequence numbers so they do not count toward the total of all known Krause "general" music reference books.

      New pages split off from my original Bibliography page

      Krause was aquired in 2002 by F+W, formerly F+W Publications and F+W Media .

This page is a Work in Progress to which I am currently adding all Krause "general" music reference books I know about.
