I could write a novel about how inspiring, vibrant and indispensible this book is; instead, I'm going to write some plays. You won't be able to avoid that conclusion yourself if you part with the pittance they're asking for this masterwork

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2019The product usually sells for 100’s of dollars, but I got the first ( and only) edition at a steal for 25. A pure transcription of a class Samson Raphaelson taught in 1948, it truly it’s one of the most quotable writing books I’ve ever read, with nuggets of wisdom you simply cannot get anywhere else. If the product isn’t available at a decent price point I would suggest getting the e-book.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2019Like a window into the heart & soul of a tremendously knowledgable & insightful master of drama and the human condition. A time travel trip to 1948 that feels completely modern & natural. Audit a master class as pertinent today as ever.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2015This curious little book ranks as one of my most favorite on the subject of writing. Not only did I learn a great deal, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself along the way. If you want to write, read it. Today.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2019Couldn’t ask for more.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015A real treasure of a find. A gift for my son.

A play is a product of the stage. Be ready to rewrite. If ACT I is a dud, so is the play. Be sure that ACT I works, or you can write off the following acts.
