New book /Music by Numbers/, co-edited by Richard Osborne and Dave 
Laing, has recently been made available by Intellect:

<https://www.intellectbooks.com/music-by-numbers>


Dave proposed the idea for a book addressing the use and abuse of 
statistics in the music industries at the first Working in Music 
conference, which took place in Glasgow in 2016. Richard put his name 
forwards to work with him and thoroughly enjoyed the collaboration. This 
is last book Dave worked on before his untimely death, which occurred 
two years ago today.


Richard is glad to say that /Music by Numbers/ includes chapters by 
Dave's friends, colleagues and admirers, and is thankful to them for 
their excellent work. Above all else, though, Richard would like to pay 
tribute to Dave for being such a phenomenal scholar and excellent 
person. He is sorely missed. Richard pasy tribute to him in the 
introduction to the book, which is available here for those who might be 
interested:
