Other Side of Haight : A Novel
by James Fadiman
The story of a group of young people sharing a house in Haight-Ashbury in
the 60's, both embodying and creating the spirit of their place and time.
This book rekindles memories for those who remember, and were "there" in
body and/or Spirit, while it sparks curiosity and new interest for those
who were not.
A portrait of the Haight in its early Camelot days. A time when there was
such an intense optimism that by caring and loving each other we began to
change the planet...James Fadiman,author.
San
Francisco in the Sixties
by George Perry (Editor)
With the passing of the 20th century into history, the 1960s will be viewed
as one of its most crucial decades an era of unprecedented social and cultural
revolution. Across the world, barriers collapsed, new freedoms were claimed,
and an explosion of creative energy electrified the arts, fashion, politics,
and lifestyles not always without accompanying turmoil.
The Haight-Ashbury: A History
Charles Perry's history of San Francisco's hippie haven has been pleasing readers ever since it was published in 1984. The Haight-Ashbury shows how a cultural revolution transformed a backwater district into the epicenter of "new consciousness." A mind-boggling treat for readers of Barry Miles's Hippie and other books about psychedelic bohemianism.
The San Francisco Oracle / The Psychedelic Newspaper of the Haight Ashbury (Digital Re-Creation) The S.F. Oracle, published straight outta Haight Ashbury from 1966 to 1968, was one of the most unique and beautiful publications of the '60s. It will be remembered for its extraordinary graphic design (by major S.F. artists), its groundbreaking printing techniques, and for capturing the cultural explorations that would define the 60's through articles, interviews and poetry. Now, all 12 issues are available again, on cd-rom, with restored brilliance! View every page exactly as they appeared back in the day, then print 'em out and read it on the bus if you choose. And you're either on the bus or off the bus. Also included is a 30 minute DVD interview with publisher Allen Cohen
The legendary "San Francisco Oracle," was a psychedelic, rainbow-hued underground newspaper published in the Haight-Ashbury with Michael Bowen as Art Editer.
The most beautiful newspaper ever seen on the streets of this planet.

We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us Against
by Nicholas Von Hoffman
A series of vignettes on the people in the Haight-Ashbury during 1967.
Von Hoffman uses the New Journalism technique of focusing on personalities rather than events. A lot of attention is given to drug use. If you want to understand hippies of the 60's read this book.
The Dead : A Social History of the Haight-Ashbury Experience
Haight Ashbury Literary Journal chronicles the lives of "the denizens of the present-day Haight Ashbury – professors, homeless people living in the park, veterans releasing their rage, prisoners, first-time writers, lovers, and a good dose of the lunatic fringe." Well worth the subscription price.
