Hamilton: The Revolution by Jeremy McCarter, Lin-Manuel Miranda
4.0

I enjoyed this a lot- some of it isn't very new, stuff that has been reiterated in interviews before the book was published, but it's frankly worth it just for the pictures. It's a pretty beautiful book, and definitely does what it sets out to do (ie be a coffee table book for musicals!) I will say I am sad that there is no bibliography included, but I'm very biased and have specific needs that I recognize not everyone else shares.

I am a little concerned about the longevity of the book- my copy creaks every time I open it, and the inside binding just sort of cracks. I feel like I need a book pillow just to read it! I know there's an ~aesthetic~ going on (hence the deckled pages) but I hope the book is still structurally sound!
