One of the Best Biographies Of All Time

This very detailed and descriptive analysis of Barbra Streisand's career by Alison J. Waldman. She examines almost every detail and aspect of Barbra's very large and extensive career. The part I enjoyed most was the music section where she describes the preparation of and commercial action of each of Barbra's CDs. It is nice to see how stars choose what songs and how all the songs work together. No less fascinating is the Movie section which is very comprehensive. Waldman even crafts a Scale rating the movies' many factors such as Longtime Durability and Success. For the private life, there is some spilling of the beans here and for projects Barbra could have participated in, one can imagine. The book also has a section that chronicles the top rumors of Streisand that are either proven or disproven. One can tell that the author is a fan of Streiand as she details many elements in a style and manner that is highly uncontestable among other biographers of not only Streisand but others as well. Also, the Bette Midler Scrapbook also by Waldman is a good read as well.

The "Revised" Barbra Streisand Scrapbook

The Barbra Streisand Scrapbook is the ultimate book for Barbra fans!!!!!! Gorgeous pictures fill the pages, and it is loaded with interesting tidbits of information on the unbelievable career and latest news in the life of Barbra Streisand. Fans will literally want to devour the pages and will not be able to put this book down until they have read, and re-read this book from cover to cover!!!!! I personally have EVERY book ever printed about Barbra Streisand, and this is without a doubt the BEST one out there!!!! Don't miss it!!!!!!!

This book is a must for any Streisand fan!

I have read every word of this fantastic, marvelous book and found it to be the best book written on Streisand's remarkable career.!!....It is filled with wonderful facts about every facet from the early years of her career to today. As an avid and devoted Streisand fan, I found all the facts in this book to be accurate and Waldman's writing style is clear and fresh. All of Streisand's albums are included here....in a table format and in narrative, describing the recording and release and success of each one in remarkable detail. Even more wonderful is the chapter devoted to Streisand's movies....very detailed and filled with wonderful anecdotes and reviews of each movie. This book is FABULOUS!!! Overall this book is one that I truly loved and will always cherish as a wonderful chronicle of Streisand's career, one that I have followed with much interest over the past 25 years. If Barbra (God forbid!!) should ever need to prove herself as a singer or actress or director,all she would need is to show this book as her "resume" of all that she has done in her 40 year career. Waldman has done an incredible job and should be highly praised for her wonderful work.

Simply Wonderful!!!!!

This is THE definitive book about Barbra Streisand, no question about it. It has gorgeous pictures and a lot of information, and it is simply a joy to read. (...)I recommend this book to everyone, not just devout fans- it's a must-have!!

Excellent

This is a must book for any "Barbra Fan". Filled with color and black/white pix (some famous, some not), quotes, facts and fiction, discography, movie listings,and more! If you can find this book grab it. Even if you think you know all about Barbra, this book will surprise you.
