Customer Reviews

The essential guide to rock poster art!
Bought it several years ago and I can't think of a book that i've refered back to as often as this. The in-depth coverage of the artrock scene is superb. It is epecially in-depth on the psychedelic era of the sixties when posters were in their renaissance.
CAVEAT EMPTOR!: Make sure you get the full size version NOT the pocket sized edition! Pocket size is nice but you will definately want the FULL SIZE version.

I know how good this book is my name is in it
Back in the 60's I designed a rock poster that is now a collecters item. Very few people ever knew who designed it. I found the poster and my name on page 258 and in the credits he lists me as the artist. This man did his homework. If I'm there then he got the rock art scene covered down to the finest detail. Some of my oldest friends are only now discovering the poster from 1969 and what I created 35 years after the fact. It is my newest history book.

great book - but buy the BIG version
This is a great book - bought because of a recommendation of a "rock poster society" (trps.org) member. Just be aware that there is a "mini" version that makes a great stocking stuffer, but it's not the full size original. So, if you're paying $10 for a hardcover version online, assume it's the mini, not the $50 version, and you won't be disappointed.
