If you look back on the Sixties fondly, or if you like Sixties history, or if you love comfort food, or if you are an ace book collector, you will love this book. Great touchy-feely text, terrific hippie photography. (Alice was gorgeous!) Warm-soundin recipes. AND, the plastic record is still here!
