20 Years of Rolling Stone - What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been

Description: "20 Years of Rolling Stone - What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been" edited by Jann S. Wenner - Softcover (8-3/8" x 11") - Published in 1987 by Friendly Press - 464 pages (numerous great color and black & white photos; many are full-page) -very good condition. The title of this book says it all. Rolling Stone's brand of impressionistic journalism has been fairly steady over the 20 years of the magazine's existence. This omnibus features Hunter Thompson on local politics in Aspen, Colo., Tom Wolfe on fashion, Greil Marcus on Woodstock. Interviews with Bob Dylan, Sting, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, and pieces on Stevie Wonder, the Grateful Dead and Michael Jackson lift the art of fanzine writing to new heights. Reporting on events of great social significance, there are articles on Kent State, Charles Manson and the Karen Silkwood case. Among the 135 pictures are Richard Avedon's minimalist photos of politicians and Ralph Steadman's Watergate cartoons. A reminder that Rolling Stone was never just a music magazine, but rather one at the cutting edge of our time. There is a little edge wear (see the scan), but this book is still in very nice condition. No collection of rock & roll items is complete without this great book. Check out the scan for the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out; this book is long out of print! All previous buyers of my music related books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please check my listings. The book will be sent via Media mail in the USA to minimize shipping costs. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please request an invoice with the appropriate combined shipping discount. See my auctions and my eBay store for hundreds of books and a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you have any questions. 6-17-22 -- 51.4
