Hello Again, Dolly! Lux Compendium Book

This in-depth researched 270 page all color educational book was written by Christopher Radko for the Hello Again, Dolly! community-wide festival in 2018. The text accompanied the exhibit curated by Christopher Radko at the non-profit Putnam History Museum, in Cold Spring, New York. The book features interviews of people who were present at the filming in 1968, and many rare or never before seen photos from the private collections of the residents of Garrison and Cold Spring who were part of filming as extras, builders, or service providers hired by 20th Century Fox more than a half century ago. The text takes the reader behind the scenes to learn more about all the contributors to the film, and what it took to film Dolly! on location. There is a also detailed history of Garrison, Cold Spring, and West Point as these places were in the Dolly! era of the 1890s. The book had a limited print, and was created by local donations as fund raiser for the non-profit Putnam History Museum. It was available by donation exclusively through the Museum. Though the initial run is gone, please feel free to contact the Museum in case a reprint comes to light. Or, check on eBay, if someone is selling their copy. www.PutnamHistoryMuseum.org
