An Error of the Moon is written by Luigi Creatore, who in a previous career was a record producer, producing hits for such talents as Sam Cooke, Perry Como, Jimmie Rodgers, Sarah Vaughan and others.

Book Review: Broadway - The American Musical
Written by Andrew C. McGibbon
“Broadway: The American Musical,” the companion book to the 2004 PBS six-part series has finally been released in an updated paperback edition.
