The great books in the canon of Astaire & Rogers literature still remain Arlene Croce's Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers Book(1972)and John Mueller's Astaire Dancing (1986). I would have loved to have seen another insightful addition to the canon written with the same verve and elegance that one sees in this celebrated team's dancing but this book is not it. In my opinion, it added nothing new to the table. I'll go as far as to question the author's authority on this subject since she got a few minor details wrong, especially with regard to Rogers's dresses.
Not his best. Aquick read.
