Your Music Book Store (Dec. 22 and Beyond)

Kate Bush is notoriously publicity-shy, but no doubt she trusts her brother, photographer-writer John Carder Bush, to piece together a glossy book of photographs covering her career. “Kate: Inside the Rainbow,” out this week, includes outtakes from classic album shoots and never-before-seen pics from sessions, rare studio shots and behind-the-scenes stills from her music videos.

The music book includes two essays from John Carder Bush: “From Cathy to Kate,” on their childhood and her career, and “Chasing the Shot,” about his experiences taking photos of her over the years.

Read on …
