A book on the musical British invasion from the first wave to the new wave called, _The British Invasion, From the First Wave to the New Wave_ by Nicholas Schaffner, published in 1983. I had it in college and I was feeling very nostalgic when I tripped across it on Amazon, so I bought it. I just got it today. It’s a hard cover; the edition I had had was soft cover, but it’s sending me back to my dorm room in Orono. It’s separated into major sections on The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, The Who, Pink Floyd, T. Rex, David Bowie and The Next Wave (from the Sex Pistols to The Police) and then about a hundred pages of one or two page blurbs on the dozens and dozens of other British bands to make it big: Adam and the Ants, Be-Bop Deluxe, ELP, The Psychedelic Furs, The Yardbirds, etc. along with tables of top 20 singles by year and a sort of British Invasion timeline (“The British Rock Diary” which starts in 1963 (Beatles tour Scotland to promote _Love Me Do_) and ends at Dec 27, 1980 (Lennon’s _Starting Over_ hits #1)). I also ordered a copy of the original _Book of Lists_ - a tome which I consider the proto-Dope; it’s the book that pretty much turned me into a reader and a trivia nut - but it hasn’t shown up yet. ---

Interesting notes on the books I bought - noted above: Both are used books. _The British Invasion_ has a stamp on it’s pages reading, “Flagstaff High School,” and _The Book of Lists_ has a hand written note on the inside reading, “1977 - Merry Christmas Grandma and Grandpa - in our book of lists you are number one in every category. Love, Travis & his parents.” Used books are cool. ---
