[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.

This book is awesome. Brings back much of the feel of the lot scene, and the overall atmosphere surrounding this great musical machine. Great conceptual idea. Loved every page and frequently look back at it.

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.
