Peter Conners reviews TIAADWD

Here is what writer Peter Conners (Growing Up Dead, JAMerica) had to say about This Is All a Dream We Dreamed in a review on the book’s amazon page: “When it comes to Grateful Dead experts, you don’t get any more expert than David Gans and Blair Jackson. They’ve used this expertise to create an easy-reading, but incredibly informative history of the band told in the voices of the key players. I particularly enjoy their approach to oral history which combines new interviews with older ones (including pre-Grateful Dead Jerry Garcia) to illustrate the development of the band and their approach to music. If you think you’ve read every Dead book that matters… you haven’t. This one matters. Gans and Jackson leave no turn unstoned. Buy the ticket, take the ride.” Order your signed copy here.
