New book on Edwin Booth - L Verge - 09-10-2013 06:12 PM
I received a letter today from Arthur Bloom, a retired dean of theater arts who spoke a few years ago at a Surratt conference, that his book on Edwin Booth: A Biography and Performance History was released in July. You can check out some excerpts from it on Amazon.com. Take a deep breath before you look at the price tag. Even on Amazon, it is expensive.

I bought Mr. Bloom's book, "Edwin Booth: A Biography and Performance History" last week from Amazon and got it a few days ago. I have only given it a quick glance through, but it looks substantial and worth the price tag. While only 360 pages, it's a large book with bigger pages than a normal hardcover. I used it for reference the other night and it was quite helpful.
