Keep an eye out this summer and fall for two new books about Burt. Serene Dominic’s The Little Red Book of Burt Bacharach: An Illustrated Discography of Burt Bacharach (Omnibus/Schirmer Trade Books) traces Bacharach recordings from the earliest through today, including commentary from Burt and many of the artists who performed his songs. The Little Red Book of Burt Bacharach is scheduled for publication in August 2002. Robin Platts’ Burt Bacharach & Hal David (Collector’s Guide Publishing) includes interviews with Burt and Hal as well as Gene Pitney, B.J. Thomas, Steve Tyrell and others.

Look for it in September 2002.
