Paperback. Condición: Fair. A revealing and intimate biography about Janis Joplin, the Queen of Classic Rock, written by her younger sister. Janis Joplin blazed across the sixties music scene, electrifying audiences with her staggering voice and the way she seemed to pour her very soul into her music. By the time her life and artistry were cut tragically short by a heroin overdose, Joplin had become the stuff of rock-and-roll legend. Through the eyes of her family and closest friends, we see Janis as a young girl, already rebelling against injustice, racism, and hypocrisy in society. We follow Janis as she discovers her amazing talents in the Beat hangouts of Venice and North Beach-singing in coffeehouses, shooting speed to enhance her creativity, challenging the norms of straight society. Janis truly came into her own in the fantastic, psychedelic, acid-soaked world of Haight-Asbury. At the height of her fame, Janis's life is a whirlwind of public adoration and hard living. Laura Joplin shows us not only the public Janice who could drink Jim Morrison under the table and bean him with a bottle of booze when he got fresh; she shows us the private Janis, struggling to perfect her art, searching for the balance between love and stardom, battling to overcome her alcohol addiction and heroin use in a world where substance abuse was nearly universal. At the heart of Love, Janis is an astonishing series of letters by Janis herself that have never been previously published. In them she conveys as no one else could the wild ride from awkward small-town teenager to rock-and-roll queen. Love, Janis is the new life of Janis Joplin we have been waiting for-a celebration of the sixties' joyous experimentation and creativity, and a loving, compassionate examination of one of that era's greatest talents.…

Soft cover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. As you can see from the photo of the front cover, this is an Uncorrected Proof. It was published in 1996. The novel was first published in 1997. There are no other Uncorrected Proofs for sale anywhere on the Internet. This is the only book that was published in 1996 for sale on the Internet. It was also the author's first book. You can see the covers in the photos. They do have some handling soiling. There is little crease at the front bottom corner. The page edges are mostly clean, a few tiny amber spots. The spine has a slight forward lean, but the book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. Beginning with the first page of Chapter 1, there are seven consecutive pages with a few small amber spots. I turned over most of the pages and found approximately ten others with a few of the same amber spots. All the remaining pages are perfectly clean. All of the pages are bright. I found only one or two very light top corner creases. I didn't see any other creasing. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. Separately, inside the book, there is a Press Release dated 12 December 1996 from Acid Test Productions, announcing the publication of this novel in April 1997. One interesting tidbit: it says that the book will be 208 pages. This uncorrected proof is 236 pages. Also inside the book is a separate card of Acid Test Productions. Drawing from the press release: 'Through all the transitions in Ted Ringer's life, he maintained two influences that contributed to this novel: a love of the Grateful Dead and a friendship with the man who inspired the main character, Minnie. Ted Ringer could have been speaking of himself when he wrote, 'Minnie saw music as a sacred privilege you shouldn't abuse. You had to get off your butt and participate. Just like the song said, 'if you get confused, listen to the music play' and there you were. This was the truth. It had to be true or the Boys wouldn't be doing it this long. It was more than a job.' The press release states that 'the novel is about a delightfully offbeat character named Minnie, the owner of a Boulder, Colorado bar, who embarks on a much needed vacation that takes him on the road with The Grateful Dead and entangles him in an adventure that involves a greedy IRS, a paranoid and delusional CIA, and a plan involving The Grateful Dead to save the endangered rainforest from a dangerous coffee cartel. The IRS wants Minnie's money, the CIA wants a bootleg tape and the Dead lead him into acts of heroism he didn't know he was capable of. With the volume turned up, Minnie tangles with unsavory characters in Brazil, foils American Nazis, falls in love, appeases the IRS and fools the CIA.'. Ted Ringer (ilustrador).…
