A really fantastic book about the great Cole Porter. It's a biography that includes a bunch of great pictures, copies of letters and sheet music. The other great thing about this book is that it has the lyrics to all the songs Cole Porter has written along with the show it came from. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in Cole Porter or musical theater.
