Mooching around Amazon, I came across two books by the above author. 'Les Miserables, History in the Making' and 'The Complete Book of Les Miserables'. Both are from around the same time. What is the difference between them please. Is one worth getting more than the other (or are neither worth it?)

I can't speak for the latter, but I do have the "History in the making" book - it's a big coffee table book that ends around 1989 ("Productions in Preparation" starts with Madrid Spring 1990, lol) and the photos are mostly from London, New York and a few from international productions of the time like Norway, Vienna and Japan. It also contains the full libretto.
It feels very dated now of course, I haven't touched the coffee table books I avidly collected back then in ages.
Checking... even the page numbers tally in the Contents, so I assume "The Complete Book..." is the pocket book edition of the very same book?

I think it might be. I also think that "Philip Cross" typo has never been corrected.
