Jason ★★★★★

The photos in this hardcover are worth it alone, especially the candid shots from the '68 special rehearsals. I've read other books on the comeback, but the director's own commentary here adds details I hadn't heard before.

Natalie ★★★★★

The behind-the-scenes notes from the director are what make this worth it, especially the details about staging that famous leather suit segment. Photos are sharp and the paper feels substantial.

Elizabeth L. ★★★★★

I've watched the '68 special a dozen times, but Steve Binder's commentary in this book still taught me things about how that staging came together. The behind-the-scenes detail on the leather suit segment alone was worth it.
