The Music Man

New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. Near Fine in Very Good+ dj. (c.1958). 3rd printing. Hardcover. [minimal shelfwear, light dust-soiling to top of text block; the jacket is lightly browned and moderately faded at the spine, but overall is nice-looking and presents well in new mylar]. (B&W photographs) Beloved classic of the musical theatre, which has somehow managed to remain so despite the fact that it mocks everything in its path, and has as its "hero" is a thorough-going rotter who is (just barely) redeemed by love, or something. Proof that great songs can put just about anything over, even in I-o-way. NOTE that in the manner of most published musical plays, this book contains the book and the lyrics, but not the music. (But I'm betting you know most of the tunes by heart, don't you?) .
