Greetings, Barbra-Archives readers! Matt Howe has been busy, and the fruit of his labors have arrived ... a print version of all the great information you've enjoyed reading on this site!
Just like his detailed website, this book contains lists and information about Barbra. You'll find the "trunk" songs from FUNNY GIRL (Broadway); a comparison of the Broadway versus film version of FUNNY GIRL; amazing research on "lost" shows like PM EAST; Barbra's demos and unreleased songs; Matt's usual excellent photo selection; and finally, a Magazine and Newspaper list (1960-1964) detailing most major (and some minor) articles that were written about Barbra. Matt chronologically lists the magazine date, name, story name, pages, and notes any rare facts (i.e. rare photos or information).
