[David Ward · Rating 4 out of 5]

Deadhead Forever by Michael Hayes (Running Press Book Publishers 2001)(782.42166) is a hoot! It purports to be a notebook that was found wedged between the seats of an old 1968 VW microbus, and it is actually a scrapbook of one fan's year on tour with the Grateful Dead. I was there for years, and this book brings back a lot of wonderful memories. My rating: 7/10, finished 2/7/13.

A quick fun read, heavy on photos, scanned memorabilia and news articles, and handwritten passages, this book is the "found scrapbook" of a fictional Dead Head found aboard a VW Van purchased used. Clever idea, and fun to flip through. Received it as a gift from my very understanding wife, and am thankful to have read it.
