BOOK REVIEW - THE PHOTOGRAPHY SHELF:
Critique: Each individual B/W photo is captioned with the name of the performer. The informative commentary is condensed into a nine page introduction (Burlesque: A Photographic Collection), with the photos segregated by gender -- 150 pages of the female performers, 56 pages of male performers. A treasury of nostalgia and a 'must' for dedicated Burlesque fans and historians, this large format (7 x 0.6 x 10 inche, 1.01 pounds) paperback edition of "Burlesque: The Photograph Collection of Legendary Comic Dick Richards" is a 'once in a lifetime' pick for personal, professional, community, and college/university library Burlesque Theatre collections and supplemental American Theatrical History curriculum studies lists.
