Cook da Books (also known as Cook the Books, Big in France and Da Books) were a British new wave band from Liverpool, England, formed in 1980. The band were signed to indie labels throughout their career, and much of their music was politically charged,[1] though they also contributed music to popular film soundtracks.[2] They released two albums and eleven singles before splitting up in 1988.
