Excerpt from Theft!: A History of Music
Keith had told us we had to finish the book. It was only half done. We had no heart for it. In the end, it meant starting again and redrawing the book from scratch with two wonderful professional artists, Ian Akin and Brian Garvey. Every page we went through was a reminder of a conversation we had had with Keith, a joke we had made, a crazy reference to pop culture, or film noir or music or law because Keith was an artist, a legal scholar, and a hilarious culture jammer. And each of those reminders was a sad one. It was a deeply painful task. Still, Keith had told us we had to finish the book; Those are the kinds of commands one does not disobey.
