I really liked McNally's Book
Phil's too

Scully's Book is a guilty pleasure of mine

Anyone else like to read about the Boy's ?

Hunter's Box of Rain, really like reading all the lyrics, especially the stuff I hadn't heard before. I thought Phil's book was pretty good but I'm not really all that interested in the behinds the scenes stuff, just like the music they make. I haven't read any of the other books, i might be interested if Weir wrote one.

I liked McNally's book, except where he went 3rd person as Scribe...

I liked Steve Parrish's book "Home Before Daylight" a lot, real but respectful and not trashy.

I thought "Dark Star" was the most pointed, it seemed very skewed against Garcia.

I was looking at The Greatful Dead -Scrap book By Ben Fong Toress the other day. Its pretty decent , lot of cool odd's and ends with it.

I read the Scully book when it first came out. It was right when I was gettin into the dead and gave me atleast an overall picture of the early scene and history even if it may be biased and trashy. Electric Kool-aid Acid Test made for a good companion book reading it right afterwards.

Skimmed around through Dark Star - probably reading all of it at some point. That one is tough when they focus on the later years.

and I just bought Searching for the Sound and will start reading it right after I finish reading Watch You Bleed: The Saga of G'N'R... if its trashy your looking for... this is a good one!

I really liked, "Searching for the sound". But havn'nt read that many yet.

McNally's book
Phil's book
And one book I haven't seen anyone post Grateful Dead an Illustrated Trip. A really great book I hope they update it someday to include Furthur.

the Grateful Dead Family Album is a good one too

Garcia Signpost to New Space (1972), hands down

Hunter's "Box of Rain" [hardcover] is perfect.

Blair Jackson's books: "Garcia: An American Life" and "Grateful Dead Gear: The Band's Instruments, Sound Systems, and Recording Sessions, From 1965 to 1995"

Grace to all.
