review in the archives.

Homeground says: is another collection of newspaper and magazine
cutting covering the years from 1978 in two volumes selling for about
L12-00 in Britain and L15 postpaid to America. Details can be
obtained via the fanzine Never For Ever. [See below]
Kate Bush - With Love (1988):
Reprints of Kate-related articles, interviews, and reviews, some
positive, some negative. Interesting mainly to see how the music
press has reacted to Kate over the years.
Secret History of Kate Bush (And The Strange Art Of Pop) (1983):
Intellectual (as opposed to intelligent) book abut Kate's family
history, story, and fans. Commonly available, but only recommend for
the photos.
