The Broadway Maven’s weekly blast MARQUEE featured a book review of Matching Minds with Sondheim.

Here are some of my favorite bits:

• Barry Joseph’s erudite and edifying new book, Matching Minds with Sondheim, set for release next month, is poised to expand the appreciation of The Master’s many fans by demonstrating that his skills as a puzzlemaster were, in their own way, just as breathtaking as his facility with music and lyrics.”
• an “essential resource“
• “…since Sondheim has so many fans who want to savor every corner of his mental world, I won’t be surprised if Joseph’s book finds popularity well beyond its niche.”
• “I’m glad to have read it.“
