For anyone who hasn't hear Lin-Manuel Miranda has a new book coming out about backstage stories along with how he made the show and other tid-bits.

the book, Hamilton: The Revolution, is being released a week from Tuesday (the 12th). According to Amazon, the vinyl is being released the 15th. I also noticed the first 25 pages or so of the book were available to read as a preview on iBooks.

I pre-ordered mine in January. I say buy it now before they start costing $100+ like Spring Awakening, The Little Mermaid, & Jersey Boys coffee table books. [the prices change all the time, but they were really expensive (own them now)]

I don't think it's a coffee table book like those ones you listed, this is like a regular book I'm pretty sure.

Can someone tell me why people on Twitter call this book "Hamiltome"?

Ask Lin. DIdn't he start it?

 

Also, isn't a tome a kind of a book?

"Tome" is another word for a book, usually a very large one.
