Although from the UK, I picked up this book on a recent visit to the US. From the start, it was obviously a much better book than anything available at home. I have now read it from cover to cover and would recommend it to any English reader. It answered questions I have not found answers to in the UK (such as how did the poor register births, marriages and deaths when they lived a long way from the Registrar's office). Designed to enable decendants in the US to trace their ancestors without travelling to the UK, it is ideal for an English reader who finds it difficult to travel around the country for their genealogical research. Ought to be available at amazon.co.uk!

This beginner's guide is ideal for those first-time researchers who are not located in the United Kingdom. Long-distance resources including Family History Centers and the Internet are covered in great detail.

Paul Milner & Linda Jonas are veterans of English research and they share their expertise in easy-to-follow real examples from their own research.

Collaboratively written by knowledgeable genealogists Linda Jonas (Director of the McLean Family History Center specializing in British Ancestry) and Paul Milner (a professional family historian specializing in British research), A Genealogist's Guide To Discovering Your Scottish Ancestors: How To Find And Record Your Unique Heritage is a useful and user friendly "how-to" manual that teaches beginning genealogists the basic guidelines they need to follow in the research process of tracking down their family history.

Being a verteran of many shows, it brought you the flavor of a dead show. Has letters from Heads and great concert pics. I bought this years ago and use it to hold my concert stubs. It is beaten and worn from use. Not informative, but if you ever shed a tear when you heard "To Lay Me Down" then this will bring you back.

I was shocked when I saw that no one has reviewed this book,yet. This book has various photos and interviews taken at concers and gatherings spanning from the Haight Ashbury days to the early 80s. Also, lots of quotes from the performers were written, about the situations of the various times of their touring.At the end, the COMPLETE tour list from 1961(pre Dead) all the way to 1982, was thouroughly written. That includes the Acid Tests,Woodstock, Monterey Pop, and the venues that they played. This may be oriented to Deadheads themselves, but this is surely a collector's item. Since this book was written in 1982, it may go out of print again at any time. Definately a collector's item!
