Books

Welcome to NOT Amazon.com.

Here at KEYFAX we take our books a little more seriously, especially since one of us actually writes some of them too. We have recently overhauled our book section to reflect the ever-changing market, plus the expansion of our family of music technology websites into the recording field.

The increase in the number of titles we carry has made it sensible - and helpful we hope - to re-categorize our catalog. As ever, though, the following selection of music/technology books are our recommendations, not simply a list of every hopeful Harry or Harriet who's ever burst into print on 'Setting Up Cubase.'

We have also put our DVD and Videos in a separate area so please make sure you check out those pages if you like your learning audio/visual and not just visual.
