A great resource for Deadheads. Big on nostalgia, great anecdotes, postures, photos, tickets, writings ... Ben Fong Torres states that he is not much of a fan. You may take this to mean he is not as obsesssed as some of the Dead's legendary followers who have attended shows in the hundreds. Yet he compiles a tribute that could only be assembled by someone who loves, respects and worships this incredible band. One of those books you pickup and read straight through without stopping.
Good short version of the Grateful Dead history. Fong-Torres is a good writer and a pleasure to read. What really made the book exceptional was the reproduced artwork: Posters, fliers, album art ect...
fetish object for collectors. cool format. interesting for the collection. no new info or facts
I agree great for any fan! Love how it comes with mini posters and am audio interview cd.
