Barbra: The Sixties (Part One) (2006)
Matt Howe ("The Barbra Archives" website) has created a handsome guide to Barbra's early career. Focusing on Barbra's early career in the 60s, readers will find fascinating information on her early performances in clubs like the Bon Soir and the hungry i. You'll find the "trunk" songs from Funny Girl (Broadway); a comparison of the Broadway versus film version of Funny Girl; the "lost" shows from 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. Barbra: The Sixties (Part One) is a handsome, professionally printed book, saddle-stitched [i.e. center-stapled like a magazine] and printed on high-quality paper. Matt did the layout himself, so you can expect the usual high-quality graphic design that you see on his website.  Available directly from Matt Howe (via Lulu)
