The book stores few information about Barbra Streisand's albums and singles, ranging from her studio releases to her compilation and live albums. The Author, Matt Howe, does a good job with writing and finding the info to put into this book, but he very frequently lets his personal opinion of almost every album and single featured overshadow the actual info of those releases.
Matt Howe also has a website called Barbra Archives that he runs himself that most information for the albums can be found and read. He however seems to exclude a lot more information from the book that is on the website. For example, there is only a page on 'Back to Broadway' whilst the website indicates there is more than a page's worth of research and info he discovered about that album (at least 4 pages worth).
For the £40 price tag, and if Howe wasn't so unprofessional with the input of his opinions about the albums, it would be worth the price.
