Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Diehard Deadheads Dodd and Spaulding, a husband-and-wife editorial team, have compiled 41 short selections from the more than 4000 entries in The Grateful Dead and the Deadheads (Greenwood, 1997), the definitive Grateful Dead bibliography, gathered by Dodd and fellow collaborator Rob Weiner. With the exception of an excerpt from Tom Wolfe!s landmark Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), the editors favor more obscure extracts from fiction, interviews, record liner notes, poems, articles, and concert reviews. They divide the material into four sections, chronicling the band!s Haight heyday (1967$75), the growth of the Deadhead legion (1976$86), commercial success (1987$94), and Jerry Garcia!s death. Except for two revealing interviews with Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter, the editors have resurrected Dead ephemera that adds little to the mounting Dead literature that already includes standards such as Robert Greenfield!s Dark Star: An Oral Biography of Jerry Garcia (LJ 6/1/96) and Dead manager Rock Scully!s Living with the Dead (LJ 12/95). Recommended for Deadheads only."Dave Szatmary, Univ. of Washington

From Booklist
Grateful Dead literature is approaching Beatles-lit in volume, and this gathering about the band and its fans attests to how vast and dedicated the nation of Deadheads is. Coeditor Dodd notes that "for me and for countless others, a world without [Jerry] Garcia and the Grateful Dead is a world lacking the possibility of ever again experiencing quite the same level of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual ecstasy all at once." Sure. Whatever. Certainly a fine addition to the Dead oeuvre, the book collocates some of the best writing on Garcia and company by the likes of Tom Wolfe, Ken Kesey, Richard Brautigan, and Ralph J. Gleason. Robert Hunter, lyricist and overall Garcia collaborator, contributes a piece, and Blair Jackson, editor and guiding light of the Golden Road, one of the finest fanzines, contributes several. Consumer advisory (i.e., fair warning): these insightful meditations on the Dead phenomenon are by and for true believers. A must for Dead-heavy collections, the book is also a nice addition to any pop-culture collection. Mike Tribby
