When searching for books in the catalog, you may want to search by the musical genre that fits the song you're focusing on. Unless the song's artist is very well known and has been around for a while, there's unlikely to be a book just on that artist. However, a book about hip-hop, for example, will probably talk about a variety of artists and songs within its more general discussion of the genre.
These books can be checked out for 28 days.
