I agree totally. A Long Strange Trip was the first Dead book I bought a few weeks ago because, at the age of 17, I wanted to learn all about the entire history since I was only 5 when it ended.
That was great JDarks. I pretty much agree with a few exceptions. Phil's "Searching for the Chord" is incredible. It is an honest, insightful, and genuinely touching book which not only provides insight on the band, but on his own life, which I enjoyed greatly. Second, Perish's book was rediculous. He has so much to share, and spent most of the book talking about the sexual adventures of the road crew, like seriously, any of us really care. -Terrapinonline
just thought I'd add to this in case anyone was looking for the ultimate "deadhead book" gift. This past X-mas I was given "The Collected Artwork" Jerry Garcia. by thunder mouth press. It comes encased in a beautiful hard pressed case, including a limited ed. numbered print. A really well done coffee table book highlighting ALL of Jerry's art with some really insightful commentary. And a CD highlighting different genres of Jer's musical career. A VERY generous gift.
love the grayfolded in the background. such a great representation of DarkStar. For anyone who doesnt have Grayfolded, it is a MUST HAVE for any DS fan!!!
As someone who also suffers/enjoys the "get him a g.dead book" gift syndrome, I've got 'em all. Did you know Wendy Weir also talks to her deceased pets and PLANTS? oh and Jerry.
Hope you and yours have a great holiday.
BTW..Saw 1st DSO show 2nite, John (?) is really a great guitarist.
JDarks, another fun book is Tiger in a Trance, is a fiction but very entertaining, something you'd hopefully enjoy. thanks for all your great work, i enjoy checking out your vids
Is that a cuban montecristo #2? I had a Hoyo De Monterrey cuban a while back. Still love the #2s though. And the Grateful Dead. Rock Scully's book had some great anecdotes. Should be taken with a grain of salt.
im reading the "garcia" biography right now...its really cool, from song insight to daily activities...its deep and heavy toward the end but what do u expect...im enjoying it very much..the illustrated trip has answered basically any question that came up to mind so far...its great
I really want a hardback copy of searching for the sound.

Thanks for catching that HH. Was a typo; probably had "searching for the lost chord" by the Moody Blues on my mind =)
