The White Rabbit and Other Delights: East Totem West : A Hippie Company, 1967-1969 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm surprised there is no picture previews of this book, as it is really beautiful. Every page is thick, quality paper, and is in full color. I especially enjoyed the fact that I was able to see many great works of rare poster art by artists whose works are sometimes hard to locate. Some of my favorites of which are Nick Nickolds, Barbara Kahn, and Satty. A beautiful, beautiful book, that no coffee table should be without! :-)

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i've lived in san francisco since 1966
i was interested in which clubs or spots Joel might write about, and i was not disappointed to
find out he covered all of them plus some
i was in my twenties in the 60s and 70s and remember frequenting most of the places he covers,
and he does so mentioning the owners, some history os the spots, etc, just thorough, i'd say
excellent book, especially for people who lived through the 60s and 70s

Don't You Want Somebody to Love: Reflections on the San Francisco Sound Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Darby Slick, guitarist for the Great Society and brother-in-law of Grace Slick, has written an autobiographical account of the rise of the San Francisco Sound. Don't You Want Somebody to Love is a distinctly personal perspective on those times -- part self-deprecating, part self-aggrandizing, it's a priceless account, written in an authentic voice by an actual participant.
Much of the text concerns Darby's views on the development of the 1960's scene in San Francisco, and on the rise of the counter-culture in the USA in general, about which he often provides thoughtful commentary. There's also plenty of stuff on the music of the Great Society -- how they rehearsed, how and when songs were written, and who played what, on which song.
There's also a great Stanley Mouse cover, a bunch of reproductions of Great Society concert posters, and a decent, if somewhat random, selection of black and white photographs.
