[Audrey · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one has been around for a while and should probably be considered a local history classic. While the discussion of Aspen politics in the Seventies may seem dated, there's a wealth of timeless material that more than compensates. I especially loved her descriptions of the seasons and their effects on Aspenites.

For those of us who didn't know the author, the foreword by Hunter S. Thompson serves as a voucher of sorts.
