There are already more than five threads on this great Boston duo.

(Search/Thread Title -- "the books". it works. Trust me.)

nineteen years pass...

really lovely Booksism in this track by Northern Irish folksinger Joshua Burnside:

didn't realize it was deliberate, but i actually see Burnside cites the Books as an influence:

Oh yeah this is Books-ish as heck, love it. Nearly quotes "Enjoy Your Worries..." Somebody at an open mic a few months ago said my set reminded him of the Books and rarely have I ever been more flattered.

yeah this practically sounds like a cover. cool stuff though, you rarely detect the Books' influence anywhere, not that you really did when they were active, I don't think anyone could quite capture what they did
