Summary: Hard-Cover CLASSIC! Paperback RIPOFF!
Review: The Art of Rock (or AOR to rock concert poster enthisiasts) is a classic work that every collector must have. The hard-cover, now out of print, is a much-sought-after reference book with wonderful illustrations.In contrast, the paperback "reprint" is tiny in size and almost useless except for generating revenue for a publisher that misleads buyers into thinking that this is a faithful reproduction of the original. It isn't. Don't waste your money on the paperback. Search used-book sources for the original hardcover. The time it tales you to find it is well rewarded with superb illustrations of classic graphic artists of rock concerts in the 60's and 70's.

Summary: Possibly the best ever collection of Rock and Roll History.
Review: THE ART OF ROCK is possibly the best compilation of Rock and Roll history ever assembled. While The Bill Graham Presents - ART OF THE FILLMORE book really covers Rock History that came through the Fillmore, THE ART OF ROCK covers much more. For the hardcore Rock fan the ART OF ROCK is a must have. It is also a book to share with anyone who is a general fan or with those who actually participated in some way.

Summary: great book - but buy the BIG version
Review: This is a great book - bought because of a recommendation of a "rock poster society" (trps.org) member. Just be aware that there is a "mini" version that makes a great stocking stuffer, but it's not the full size original. So, if you're paying $10 for a hardcover version online, assume it's the mini, not the $50 version, and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: A must for all fans of the 60's!
Review: This is a great book showing the evolution of art in the rock & roll world from the 50's on.Obviously this was a painstaking task,putting all these together and it was worth it.It's a must have for the S.F. Fillmore era poster art alone.

Summary: Grushkin Great
Review: This is absolutely the most comprehensive collection of poster art celebrating rock n' roll. Whether thumbing thru and glancing at the artwork, or carefully reading the history behind each piece, it is a thoroughly enjoyable book. DON'T buy the paperback version of the book, as the images are a great deal smaller, and not near as magnificent as the hardcover edition.
