First published by Rolling Stone more than 20 years ago, The Haight Ashbury: A History has long been the singular, definitive history of a time and a place like no other. Now, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the San Francisco scene - and with a new introduction by Grateful Dead legend Bob Weir - it’s available again. ...

Charles Perry’s legendary account is the result of years spent among the musicians, dope dealers, light-show artists, Diggers, and other players in the Haight. Long out-of-print and hard to find in libraries and rare-book stores, The Haight will take you inside the gripping drama of the neighborhood’s rise, full flowering, and gaudy collapse - a storyline with a massive impact on popular culture not only in the U.S. but also around the world.
