About This Item
New York: Vintage Books, 1956. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Milton Glaser (cover art). V-88. A remarkable perspective on opera, wherein "the dramatist is the composer". CONTENTS: Foreword; Introduction; The Tradition; Reform; Retrenchment; Index. 269+ pages. CONDITION: A tight, square copy with light-moderate shelf-wear, unmarked but for the previous owner's name inside, a single light crease on the spine. There is a "remainder" hole punch on the front cover, along with a near-cut. (See my accompanying scan image.) This remains an attractive copy - now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag.
