Rating: Summary: Everything You Always Wanted To Know .... Review: Allison Waldman's book is great for any Streisand fan. It is exhaustingly researched and as idiosyncratic as anything Barbra would produce. The picture choices are wonderful - no run-of-the-mill API photographs here. Lots of rare and candid shots. Allison does a particularly great job on the unreleased stuff (movies, songs).

Rating: Summary: This book is a must for any Streisand fan! Review: I have read every word of this fantastic, marvelous book and found it to be the best book written on Streisand's remarkable career.!!....It is filled with wonderful facts about every facet from the early years of her career to today. As an avid and devoted Streisand fan, I found all the facts in this book to be accurate and Waldman's writing style is clear and fresh. All of Streisand's albums are included here....in a table format and in narrative, describing the recording and release and success of each one in remarkable detail. Even more wonderful is the chapter devoted to Streisand's movies....very detailed and filled with wonderful anecdotes and reviews of each movie. This book is FABULOUS!!! Overall this book is one that I truly loved and will always cherish as a wonderful chronicle of Streisand's career, one that I have followed with much interest over the past 25 years. If Barbra (God forbid!!) should ever need to prove herself as a singer or actress or director,all she would need is to show this book as her "resume" of all that she has done in her 40 year career. Waldman has done an incredible job and should be highly praised for her wonderful work.
Rating: Summary: Not enough updates Review: If you already own the original Scrapbook (which is a great read, no arguing there), don't bother buying this "revised and updated" version. The only "revised and updated" things in the book are a new chapter added to the end of the book that summarizes her projects over the past few years and a new cover . The first chapter of the book still states she is single...it has not been updated to reflect her marriage to James Brolin. Also, her discography in the book has not been updated to include her past several albums. This is just a few examples of the examples why this "updated" version is disapointing and not needed in your book shelf. Wait for a real updated version, I have no doubt that the author will update it again, as it seems to be a great and cheap way to earn extra money.

Rating: Summary: Not really "revised and updated" Review: If you already own the original Scrapbook (which is great), don't bother buying this "revised and updated" version. The only "revised and updated" things in the book are a new cover and a new chapter added to the end of the book that summarizes her projects over the past few years. The first chapter of the book, which details her vital statistics, still states she is single...it has not been updated to reflect her marriage to James. Also, her discography in the book has not been updated to include her past several albums. This is just a few examples of pages in the book that have not been "updated and revised"....there are many, many more. What a disappointed and waste of money.
