When Mark promised a review of A Day on Broadway, I hoped for
an "interesting read" and we have not been disappointed.

His lengthy article gave a fair description of most of the book and
which concentrated, understandably, on the first 3 chapters. He has
made a great effort to simplify some of the concepts which Joachim
dealt with in, what will be for most readers, the most difficult and
challenging section.

However a full review requires that there should be some coverage of
the final sections in which we find some autobiographical notes from
Throwdini and which includes information and pictures of his work
with other TGs. There is also an illustrated section on other
performers who are working in the Big Apple, information about Marie
Roberts who produced the illustrations in the style of traditional
carnival banners which accompany Joachim's section, and last but not
least, the authorative "teach yourself" instructions for all would-be
throwers.

Several times Mark has expressed a need for much more personal
information about the history of all three principal players in this
story. The story only attempts to deal with the event of the "DAY"
and its immediate preparation and, in doing this, reveals more than
we need to know about the characters.

Although Mark has reservations about the technical quality of the
photos, I feel that most readers will fully enjoy the 132 photos in
full colour, most of which will be new to them. Certainly, I am
unaware that the series relating to the rehearsal have ever been seen
on the Internet.

Finally, I am surprised that we have only seen any comment on this
book from Mark and Harry. It is
informative, tantalizing, thought-provoking and totally unique. I
expected that, by now, the first print run would be totally gone.
If you have it, then let us have your comments. If you haven't, then
get it NOW.
