"Songs, songwriters, and why and how they get under our skin...Songbook is Nick Hornby’s labor of love. A shrewd, funny, and completely unique collection of musings on pop music, why it’s good, what makes us listen and love it so much, and the ways in which it attaches itself to our lives -- all with the beat of a perfectly mastered mix tape."--Publisher.
