### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A seminal Sound of Music book
  

*by Y***G on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2007*

Lawrence Maslon should be thanked and congratulated for offering a concise and informative Sound of Music book. Although there have been a few Sound of Music books written in the past, this book is probably the first of its kind to tell the story in a concise manner. The Hirsch book on the film and the reissued Max Wilk book on the stage show were great books in their own right, but I think this book tops them all.Although the numerous photos are the draw of this coffee-table book, a coffee-table book should offer much more than pretty photographs. For this it certainly delivers. His meticulously researched, well-written text tells us the whole Sound of Music story from Maria's birth to the first Austrian stage production in 2005. This book covers all important stops in the history of SOM up till now, and does not dwell too long on any one time period. An added treat is the inclusion of song lyrics and commentaries on the songs, explaining how they were written and what role they played in the musical. I admit there are a few typo errors in the text, but this well-researched book is jam-packed with facts of the musical. You could literally dip your teeth into it and come out a Sound of Music junkie. I do wish there were also lyrics and commentaries for I Have Confidence, So Long, Farewell and also The Lonely Goatherd.In short, a really great Sound of Music book that makes a splendidd addition to any Sound of Music collection, except that the print tends to be a little too small for the size of the book. Otherwise, a really wonderful book from cover to cover, and a seminal work in the entire world of this well-loved musical. I think this is a book that deserves to be in print forever.

    Sound of Music Companion
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2013*

This book is a must for all Sound of Music fans.  It is interesting to read about how the movie was made and details the many behind-the-scenes issues that go into filming on location and in a movie studio.  This book also contains many photos of the movie and the filming of many scenes. If you are the type that likes to see what happens when you go 'behind' the making of a movie then this book will help you do that.  It also gives information on the Von Trapp family as well as comparisons with the true familie's ways and what the studio wanted to show on the screen.  I wouldn't say it has too much Catholicism in it but it does show where Maria came from and a bit of her life inside an Austrian Convent.  In between all of that, the movie is quite entertaining and the photography shows one of the most beautiful countries on earth: Salzburg, Austria!  You'll be glad you have this in your Sound of Music collection!

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2016*

I have been a Julie Andrews fan since she was in "My Fair Lady" even though I never got to see it, I got the album. Now I have the CD. I watched "Sound of Music" in the theater 14 times, skipping classes in high school, thinking I was the only one to have done so! Later I found others who had gone hundreds of times!! This book is totally delicious! I enjoyed every page and look forward to rereading it many more times!
