There are abundant anecdotes about his many collaborations, and readers are treated to rare personal material in this volume, as Sondheim includes songs culled from commissions, parodies and personal special occasions--such as a hilarious song for Leonard Bernstein's seventieth birthday. As he did in the previous volume, Sondheim richly annotates his lyrics with invaluable advice on songwriting, discussions of theater history and the state of the industry today, and exacting dissections of his work, both the successes and the failures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Filled with even more behind-the-scenes photographs and illustrations from Sondheim's original manuscripts, \u003ci\u003eLook, I Made a Hat\u003c\/i\u003e is fascinating, devourable and essential reading for any fan of the theater or this great man's work.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTEPHEN SONDHEIM wrote award-winning music and lyrics for theater, film, and television.
