And while the street date, is still three weeks away, it looks as if Amazon is already carrying the revised book:

got my copy from Amazon a few days ago. An absolute must read.

Richard Barrios will be presenting a program of musical excerpts (pre-1932) at Cinefest next March as well as introducing a couple of pre 1932 musicals that he discusses in the book

Is it too early to lobby for a Barrios Cinceon appearance of his presentation?
