Review (PDF) The Richard Rodgers Collection: Special Commemorative Edition
(P/V/G Composer Collection). Richard Rodgers' contributions to the musical theatre are extraordinary. His career spanned more than six decades, and his hits ranged from Hollywood to Broadway. He was the recipient of countless awards, including Pulitzers, Tonys, Oscars, Emmys and Grammys. This newly revised collection features an introduction by his daughters Mary and Linda Rodgers, a special section highlighting his 2002 centennial celebrations, great photos, articles and updated engravings of 75 of his most beloved songs, complete with listings of the years and shows which produced them. Includes: Bewitched * Climb Ev'ry Mountain * Getting to Know You * If I Loved You * Isn't It Romantic * It Might As Well Be Spring * The Lady Is a Tramp * My Funny Valentine * Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' * Some Enchanted Evening * The Sound of Music * The Surrey with the Fringe on Top * You'll Never Walk Alone * and many more.

With 60+ tunes, this is a much better collection than the new Illustrated Rodgers and Hammerstein, which has only 30 tunes and lots-o-pictures.The only way to get more songs is to buy folios from individual shows or track down one of the out-of-print Rodgers and Hammerstein Songbooks from the '60s.
Great book, I was looking for "You Could Not Please Me More." and it was in there!
