Just curious if the book was worth reading.

Not especially. Want my copy?
Eh. It's good for a start.
Then read Arthur's first memoir, Meryle Secrest's biography of Sondheim, Craig Zadan's Sondheim & Co., and the Amanda Vaill, Greg Lawrence and Deborah Jowitt biographies of Jerome Robbins.
Read Arthur's books and everything else on the subject. I just had never heard of this and wasn't sure if it was good for any info not anywhere else.
There are a few GREAT stories about David Merrick, but that's about it.

Have you read this one:
And this is my favorite Robbins book. It's all photos and anecdotes from colleagues and no analysis.
No, I haven't read either of those but they look much better! That second one sounds great!
The Robbins book that PJ mentions ("That Broadway Man/That Ballet") man is really swell. I second that.
