Was the libretto for the Apple Tree ever published? I'm trying to get my hands on a copy and I'm searching through used books on-line and I'm finding a lot of conflicting information about the vocal selections book with some stating that it's 40 pages and others offering a 90 page hard cover. Is that the libretto or just another version of the vocal selections?

I actually just picked up a hardback edition of the script (just the script) at the Neighborhood Playhouse's book sale last week.

Doesn't have the ISBN #, unforutnately, but it's 90 pages.

I have the hard copy of the script that was published just after the original production. You might find it in a used book shop.

I collect these things. (I think I have three Apple Trees.)

www.abebooks.com is a great used book site with good prices. Enter the title, Harnick as author, check 'hardbound' and then go searching. It will scan the inventories of literally hundreds of used bookstores in the world.

Results are listed by price, lowest to highest.

Apple Tree ought not to be very expensive. It is reasonably common and did have a book club edition which are routinely cheaper than the regular editions.

Beware: abebooks is addictive and you can spend your trust fund before you know it. Or even have it.
