"Pet Shop Boys Volume: The Complete Visual Record" By Chris Heath with Philip Hoare

Here’s something we didn’t know until reading this gorgeous tome: the Pet Shop Boys are the most successful duo in the history of pop music with over 50 million records sold worldwide, and a ton of awards on their collective shelves. This beautiful, very orange book offers an exhaustive look at the group’s career, diving deep into each album, and indeed each single. The Pet Shop Boys deserve a thorough examination; Neil Tennant’s sharp, Oscar Wilde-esque lyrics could be the subject of the sort of book often written about Bob Dylan. For now though, this is more than enough.
