The Book Test Book

reviewed by Mauro Rapinesi
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 11 May, 2025)

Jim Kleefeld’s book is the Library of Babel of the book test. It’s an indispensable resource if your goal is a thorough exploration of book test methods; a stimulating one if you're searching for your own presentation style, inspired by the 500 examples included—though described only in broad strokes. The only real risk? You might not be able to stop reading... The book is rounded off with three extremely useful indexes (by effect, by method, and by author), which will always help you find your way through this vast terrain. As if that weren’t enough, the book itself is an incredible forcing book you can actually use in your performances.
