Looking at “Barbra: A Retrospective”
The folks at Sterling were kind enough to send an advance copy of the new book Barbra: A Retrospective by Allegra Rossi, which is due out in the U.S. February 7, 2012.
Streisand fans will want to add this book to their collection. It's a handsome, coffee table book and features some nice, large-scale photographs of Streisand from the 1960s through today. The book is similar to some of the other “coffee table-esque” Streisand books, like Barbra Streisand by Nick Yapp.
The book's text travels through Streisand's career—no new information is contributed to the Streisand tale, but Ms. Rossi hits all the usual highlights. Streisand's record catalog is included throughout the book, with reproductions of the album art and track listings. Streisand's films are covered, too. A still from the set of My Mother's Curse even appears in the book, making it very current. The photographs in the book are of good quality and there's a special few that fans will enjoy, like some on-the-set photos from Other Musical Instruments.
Until Columbia Records releases some 50th Anniversary product in 2012, and before My Mother's Curse is released to theaters, Streisand fans can get their “Barbra fix” by leafing through Barbra: A Retrospective.
You can order it below via the Amazon.com link ...
