Picked this up in a used book store recently and just have been flipping through but a pretty interesting read in some respects (in some others not so much). The critic Graeme Thomson is the author (penned a Kate Bush book too).
Some interesting little insights into Costello and Bruce Thomas falling out, Shane MacGowan not really liking Costello much and the whole sort of Pogues/O'Riordan fall-out, and things like that. The book covers up to 2004-2005.
Thomson seems to think the best Costello records are Get Happy!!, Imperial Bedroom and King of America, which I had to read twice just to make sure he really had left out all of the first 3 from any spot in the top 3.......
