Why read it?

1 author picked Josh as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The cover of this biography is J-O-S-H spelled out in huge theatrical lights—and Logan really was a Broadway legend as a director/producer/writer.  The book chronicles his successes and failures, and he analyzes each show he worked on with an unsentimental and critical eye.

From Robert's list on set in the world of the theater.
