I think the book, overall, is beautiful and I’m very excited to give it to my husband for Christmas. However, I am a bit disappointed that it didn’t show up in pristine condition because these books are not cheap🥲 There wasn’t anything else in the box to protect it in transit so I imagine just a little paper around the corners could’ve prevented the damage.

I am not entirely sure how to write this review. The book is very well laid out. The graphics, photos, and illustrations are stunning. It would be a great resource for sure for anyone who loves music and history. However, my love for South Indian Classical Music (aka Carnatic Music) made me carefully thumb through the biographies which are listed in this book. I was not expecting to see any, but I found one (see the attached image). The only Carnatic Musician biography included is that of Kancherla Gopanna. Two things wrong with this - first they, forgot to mention the more popular name of this composer which is Bhadrachala Ramadas. Second, they have included the biography of Bhadrachala Ramadas without including other icons in Carnatic Music (such as Tyagaraja, Dikshitar, Shyama Shastry). The logic for this choice seems puzzling. This makes me wonder what kind of emphasis would have been placed on having someone knowledgeable review the world music sections of this book? Have they made similar omissions in other sections?
