this is an oversized tome published in 1971 .... with an editor (robert kimball), a biographical essay by brendan gill, and opulently designed by bea feitler all receiving title page credit and confusing everyeone. this is part scrap book (pages that look like the newspaper clippings rubber cemented into keepsake volumes your grandmother used to keep) and part gorgeous rare photographs ... and lyrics (well, but of course, this is cole porter!) ... and all pretty darn cool.
