For the first time in one volume here is the best of ÊRelixÊ magazine: the ultimate spectacular history of the Grateful Dead and their fans.ÞÊRelixÊ magazine ä much like the Grateful Dead the band they captured relentlessly ä was not just the backdrop for a generation it was an inspiration. Begun in 1974 as a newsletter to connect Deadheads the magazine exploded along with the tie-dyed community that embraced it. ÊRelix: The BookÊ is a compilation of the first 27 years of ÊRelixÊ magazine and includes interviews with Jerry Garcia Bob Weir Mickey Hart Bill Kreutzmann and all of the Dead's key players. A Deadhead family portrait and psychedelic timecapsule it also features iconic groups such as the Doors and Phish along with nearly three decades' worth of brain-melting artwork full-color covers and anecdotes from ÊRelixÊ founder Toni Brown written exclusively for the book. For the global family of Deadheads old-school hippies and up and coming jam band fans ÊRelix: The BookÊ is much more than an anthology it is an event.
