This is a great book about the art of the theatre. To use it, simply sit back, relax and start reading. You can gain a lot of knowledge about the theatre from Sarah Bernhardt's insights. When handling the book, be careful not to bend the pages too much as the binding, though tight, can get damaged over time. Since it's an old book, keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent further darkening of the pages. Avoid getting it wet or dirty, and don't write on the pages. With proper care, you can enjoy this book for a long time.
