Title: Very good little book makes you want more....
Review: This book offers a very good selection of Porter lyrics but made me want to look more both at Porter's lyrics and those of Ira Gershwin and other lyricists. There is a good "Complete Lyrics of Cole Porter" but also the excellent book "Reading Lyrics" that covers a number of lyricists, and gives (no surprise here) very good coverage to Porter, with overlap of perhaps 20 sets of lyrics with this volume A reader might want to start with "Reading Lyrics" first to see it how much interest he or she has in Porter and then move to this volume or perhaps (even better) the "Complete Lyrics." What amazes me about Porter (along with Sondheim) is that he composed some great music to go with his lyrics.
Is the review positive or negative?
