If you are at all interested in ballet, this is one book to consider adding to your collection. Somehow, I ended up with two copies, this one is in near pristine condition, spine is uncreased, never having been read.
Hailed by the critics, and written by Jennifer Homans, The New Republic's provocative dance critic, this monumental, one-volume history of ballet is beautifully written showing her admiration and love for the ballet.
Published by Random House. Large format soft cover, 643 pages with black and white and some color photographs. Extensive bibliography and index.
