Essential Deadhead Reading
If you’re gifting a Deadhead, books are always a win — especially when they document the scene from the inside.
Two of the standout picks on our page come from Jay Blakesberg, whose photography and storytelling offer an authentic, behind-the-scenes look at the Grateful Dead, the community, and the culture that surrounded the music.
They’re thoughtful, immersive gifts that go far beyond merch. Who knows? You may even spot Pink & Green Bear amongst the shots!
Featured in our picks:
- Dead & Company – Rainbow Full of Sound: 2015-2023: The Touring Years (Nov 2024)
- Between the Dark and Light: The Grateful Dead Photography of Jay Blakesberg (Dec 2002)
- The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics (Oct 2015)
These books are perfect for:
- Coffee tables
- Music rooms
- Longtime fans who love the history
- Newer Heads looking to understand the scene beyond the music
