There's lots of 'em! Books about the Dead, by the Dead, both collectively and individually. And then there's books about us, the Deadheads, too! What's your current read?

Does anyone have a spare copy of Goin Down The Road?

I had a copy some number of years ago that got lost in one of my many moves. I've since collected many other Dead related books but I would LOVE to have another copy of Goin Down The Road by Blair Jackson if I remember correctly. If anyone has a copy that they wouldn't mind relinquishing send me a PM and we can work something out!
Thank you very much to anyone who reads this and to anyone who even thinks of responding!

Dead Letters updates

First of all, hey, we're in the Dead.net Store now, available for preorder, and should be shipping soon as the books are now shipping from the publisher's warehouse. Check it out!

And second of all, check out our Facebook page, because Steven Marcus has unearthed the video of his long-lost 1986 interview with Jerry, in the ticket office, there for your viewing pleasure...

I got Hank Harrison's Book

I got Hank Harrison's Book of the Dead when I was a Freshman in college in 1972 - it came with a flimsy 45 rpm record of Neal Cassady holding court which is long since gone. It is a book that I understood more as time went on.

Looking for Reviewers

Hey there. My name is Leslie Soule. I'm looking for people to review my stepfather's semi-autobiographical novel titled The Temple of The Heart - set in the 70s, it's about a monk who leaves the monastery to pursue life in all its glory. Also, it's about my stepfather's experiences seeing Grateful Dead shows and going to Winterland.
If anyone's interested, I'll send the PDF of the novel.
You can contact me by e-mail at falcondraco@hotmail.com, or through my website.

Dead Letters

coming out in October: Paul Grushkin (author of The Official Book of the Dead Heads) has a new book featuring those illustrated envelopes into which Heads poured their creative hearts and souls before sending them off to the ticket office. The ticket office ladies, Steve Marcus, et al., fortunately saved them and now they're in the Grateful Dead Archive. And people are still sending gorgeous creations to GDTS Too.

The book will be in the Store here in due course, but if you'd like to keep up with the happenings in the meantime, feel free to check out our Facebook page

where we're posting some of the envelopes a little early... Thanks!
