No Simple Highway Drops This Week

Lots of book news to report since the last update. Paul Liberatore wrote this piece about No Simple Highway and the Grateful Dead in Marin. Some of our Marin friends were surprised (alarmed?) to see my mug over their morning coffee.

Jonah Raskin's review runs in the Chronicle today. Fanatical readers of this blog will recall that Jonah also reviewed the Ramparts book for the Chronicle. Also, Truthdig ran an excerpt--on the media reaction to Jerry Garcia's death--just in case you want to wet your beak.

We have some events this week: Diesel Books (Tuesday), The Booksmith (Wednesday), and the California Historical Society (Thursday). Paul and I will talk it over at Book Passage next Thursday, too. See event details at the Amazon author page. Please help us celebrate!

Lots of radio interviews, too, starting tonight at 5 pm on KGO's "The Pat Thurston Program." NPR's "On Point" is Tuesday morning. Details to come.

And of course the real news--that the core four will perform in Chicago this summer--broke the Internet.
