This book has excellent (and large) reproductions of psychedelic posters! It was easy, informative and incredibly fun to read! If you are interested in modern art, american history, psychedelic drug culture, or all of these things, this is a wonderful book to start with or supplement your interests.

I went through a whole stoner stage in college and this was one of my favorite books. now that I have entered the square stage of my life, I still love looking at the vibrancy and optimism that was the 60's.

no 'art of rock,' but worth a look.

One of the best overviews of psychedelic music posters from the 1960s, both US and UK.
