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!

BARBRA: THE SIXTIES (PART ONE) is a printed publication, 71 pages, 8.5" x 11.0", saddle-stitch binding (i.e. center-stapled), full-color interior.

Matt Howe ("The Barbra Archives" website) has put together a handsome guide to Barbra's early career in the 1960s. Starting with her childhood in Brooklyn (accompanied by direct quotes from Ms. Streisand), Matt includes the fascinating early performances in clubs like the Bon Soir and the hungry i. The book ends with Barbra's triumph on Broadway in FUNNY GIRL.

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).

BARBRA: THE SIXTIES (PART ONE) is a handsome, professionally printed magazine-type book, saddle-stitched and printed on high-quality paper. Matt did the layout himself, so you can expect the usual high-quality graphics that you see on his website.
