My favorite books are;
* Beth Lessers book on King Jammy
* Tero Kaskis and Pekka Vuorinens book on the volcano posse called Reggae Inna Dance Hall Style
* Ray Hurford (and others) More Axe.
All books have been released either solely by or in affiliation with the likkle Finnish publisher Black Star. Really rated books!
A special mentioning should also go to Penny Reels book about Dennis Brown (which is still available for a great price if you contact the author!). It's called Deep Down With Dennis Brown.
Otherwise I can also join in on the praising of Rough Guide to Reggae which I think is a fantastic book for anyone that has just gotten in to reggae.
