A near five-hundred page, fully-illustrated book, Music by John Barry is a chronological exploration of key landmarks underpinning Barry’s illustrious career. Written in the form of extensively researched essays concentrating on one specific score, over forty are represented from the first, Beat Girl, to the last, Enigma.
