Dust jacket shows minor wear from long life on attic shelf, but book itself is PRISTINE.
THE FIRESIDE COMPANION TO THE THEATRE
by Ethan Mordden
A compact, intelligent, historical, and well-illustrated book covering a huge amount of theatre history in an A to Z format.
Mordden provides an extraordinary amount of content in a small amount of space. He is also a prickly, opinionated and sometimes hysterically funny voice. Not what one would expect in a "reference book."
Well-illustrated, with captions by the author that ooze personality.
