Vintage 1979 Broadway Musicals by Martin Gottfried • Harry N. Abrams Large Format Hardcover Coffee Table Book

This is a copy of Broadway Musicals by noted theater critic Martin Gottfried, published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc. (New York) in 1979. This monumental 352-page coffee table book provides an expansive historical overview of the American musical theater stage, detailing the directors, choreographers, composers, lyricists, and legendary productions that shaped Broadway. It is heavily illustrated with hundreds of vibrant full-color and black-and-white production photographs, set designs, and backstage imagery.

The book measures 10.5 by 13.5 inches. Both the dust jacket and the vibrant magenta cloth book cover remain in excellent, clean cosmetic condition. Structurally, the cover is starting to separate at the hinge with the underlying binding netting visible, and the front and rear end pages have been removed. Aside from these flaws, the internal body of the book is clean, making it a great candidate for visual display, gifting, reference, or gifting.
