Burlesque Books

Dear Constant Reader,

I’ve been trying to write you a book review every Wednesday, but I just don’t have time this week. Things are really heating up with The Wrathskellar. I probably shouldn’t even take this much time, but it’s for you, Constant Reader.

Once I write the reviews here, I put them up in the Boston Babydolls’ Library. Go take a look; I’ll wait. Are there any books you’re dying to have me review? If they’re in the lower section, we don’t have them yet, but maybe some angel will send me a present…

As long as I’m asking questions of you…

My friend, Marian, a culinary historian, said “all sources are cooking sources”. I believe that all sources are burlesque sources. You can find out some of the most interesting things that can be applied to burlesque from some unlikely places. Tell me a book from which you learned something about burlesque that wasn’t specifically a burlesque book.

Inquisitively yours,
