I was so pleased at the condition of my book when it arrived, great photos, write up on Alvin Ailey and the many dancers. Also very timely too considering where it traveled from. I was very pleased. You will not be disappointed!

I have always loved dance, and especially Alvin Ailey! This book is wonderful! The photographs are vivid and beautiful. For those who have not experienced this dance company, this is a nice introduction to it's history. Love it!
Gorgeous Tribute to an American Original
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
My only "complaint" with this book is that the compelling photography kept distracting me from the text! I finally gave up and leafed through all the photos first, then went back to read the text, which provides a good overview of the company's philosophy, founding spirits and various major dancers. Highly recommended for lovers of dance or photography.
