Since it first launched in 2019, Deadhead Stories–a now-legendary compendium of crowdsourced Grateful Dead lore, culture, and tales–has sold out three printings. This has been good news not just for the lucky recipients of the books, but also for Rex, which  has regularly received contributions from Deadhead Stories sales proceeds. We’ve been able to support quite a bit of good work as a result, and we’re very appreciative.

We’re also really happy to report that since the stories never stop in Grateful Dead land, neither will Deadhead Stories, which just announced Book 2: Bound to Cover Just a Little More Ground, due for release on Mother’s Day, May 9, 2021. Get all the details and pre-order your copy now.!
