I bought this book on Amazon in 2016.
he book was published in 2011, for 25 years from the movie was released.
The book is purely an extract of scripts from the Dirty Dancing movie released in 1978.
The movie was based on a true story from the authors of the screen-play and the producer : Eleanor Bergstein.
There are no memories left as the resort from which the producer was inspired was in 'Jewish Alps' called Catskills (2-hour drive from New York city) and is destroyed. Catskills resort (in the movie the resort's name Kellermann's) where New York's Jewish family would come on holidays in 1960-ies.
The book is full of nice photos, very colorful ones. The text next to photos are extracts of the scripts.
The book is only for Dirty Dancing funs and the ones who already seen the movie.
The book is easy to read (read the script). In 2 hours you may easily finish reading.

Dirty dancing: a celebration is a wonderful walk down memory lane. It has everything you will ever need if you love the movie as much as I do. This book contains the script and a generous amount of emotion-stirring photographs. There are also quotes from the movie throughout that line up with some of the photos. Spaghetti arms!

One star for the movie because I love that movie. Two stars because I was a film major and love scripts but it’s not the whole script which is a bummer.

Dieses Buch ist das Beste was allen Dirty Dancing Liebhabern nach 25 Jahren passieren kann. Ich habe es gesehen und verschlungen. Der ganze Film in Wort und Bild. Spezielle Passagen wurden hervor gehoben, und man kann wieder eintauchen in den Film, auch ganz ohne TV. Sollte ich mal wieder Lust haben den Film anzuschauen kann ich jetzt sogar wirklich jedes Wort mitsprechen, wobei ich das auch so schon kann als echter Fan. *gg*
Sehr zu empfehlen.
Und natürlich bekommt das Buch bei mir 5 echte Fansterne!!!
