Really enjoyable and informative read!

There's also the CRC Press Focus books, which are shortform and published through Routledge. https://www.routledge.com/go/crc-press-focus-shortform#showHide

Enjoyed this, as always!

I'd add OUP's Very Short Introductions

(https://global.oup.com/academic/content/series/v/very-short-introductions-vsi/) and Bloomsbury's 33 1/3 series, which offers a deep analysis of a single album (https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/series/33-13/). They're at opposite ends of the depth spectrum, and I love them both.

Question: are any of the series you mention above open to non-scholars? 33 1/3, for instance, has published academics and music/pop culture writers.
