Pharmers Almanac the Phishermans Bible

The Pharmers Almanac is a must own for any true Phishhead. Just like Dead Base is to Dead fans, the Almanac tells you everything you need to know if your a boot colletor, have a question about a song or a question about the band. Who dosen't love the old "I know more Phish trivia than you" on the way to Deer Creek. Any real phan that is worth their salt knows that the Almanac is a necessity. Case closed. Looking forward to the new edition boys!

Dig it!

This book is so right on! A great tribute to the phattest, dankest band

The Ultimate Phish-Phact reference: A Tape-Trader's Bible.

Unbelievably, a Phish book accessible to newly-hooked phans and yet one which remains a must-have to any hard-core taper, trader, phact-nut or odinary dedicated phishead. Whether it is to learn more about the band's history, the hidden meanings of songs, or to find out at which shows did "The Landlady" segue into "Destiny Unbound" or how many times did "Antelope" close off the first set (mmmmh....pie graphs...), it's all in there. As an addicted tape-trader, I'll admit that this book is never more than an arm's length away from my tapes: has always proven useful when in need to check/doublecheck/research setlists and get a second opinon on a particular show. People will notice that some early show reviews haven't changed from the book's previous edition, but hey! "If it ain't broken, why fix it ?"

Phun phun phun!
