On Warner/Reprise Records History

I am reading a great book on the history of Warner/Reprise records, entitled 'Exploded,' by Stan Cornyn. Found it at my local branch library! Fantastically idiosyncratic and entertaining, with both the basic facts - did you know that Warner bought Reprise so that he could get Frank Sinatra on his record label? - and millions of obscure ones. Frank became 335 owner of the new combined Warner/Reprise label. It is what brought Mo Ostin to Warner.
