Dead
Letters: The Very Best Grateful Dead Fan Mail
by Paul Grushkin (Hardcover)
Dead
Letters is the fully authorized portrayal of the Grateful Dead according
to the world’s most devoted fan base: Deadheads. Beginning in their earliest
days, the Grateful Dead saved tens of thousands of letters sent to them
by Deadheads reflecting on the spectacular concerts they’d attended and
requesting tickets. These letters are inspirational and hugely insightful,
but more significantly, the envelopes in which they arrived are brilliantly
illustrated and unique within the world of rock.
This
book collects hundreds of those envelopes, as well as a selection of letters,
all presented in thematic chapters. Also included for further historical
context are rare historical photos and special reminiscences creating
a trip, as it were, down memory lane.
