Seller's Description:
Fine in fine jacket. First printing. Oversized hardcover. 480 pp. with bibliography, general index, index of songs. Illustrated with drawings. Fine (couple small stains to the edges of the text block) in bright, crisp dust jacket. The authoritative text. providing standard versions of all the original Grateful Dead songs; there are songs you've never heard, others you never heard right, and still others you didn't know existed (and some, indeed, that may not exist ar all). David Dodd's annotations on sources provide a gloss on the lyrics, which goes to the root of Western Culture as they are incorporated in them, be it fairy tale or folksong that the lyricists have drawn on, ancient verse, biblical narrative, ot T.S. Elliot. There are things here that would otherwise not be known or imagined, which also goes for what was in the minds of the lyricists themselves.
