    - Music Reference Books by Penguin

      This page lists Music Reference Books either published by Penguin Books   (Wikipedia), or books by other publishers with "Penguin" in their title. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of every Music Reference book ever published like this. It is just a list of every Penguin book I own "{A}" or have personally referenced in local Wisconsin libraries.
      This page also includes a list of every edition of every multiple artist or composer Penguin Music Guide for which I have found an ISBN for it on-line. Note: because, with a very few exceptions, I do not specializa in books about individual artsts or groups, the 400+ titles of those types of   Penguin Music Books are NOT listed here.
