Book Reviews of Rolling Stone Cover to Cover: The First 40 Years

Book Review: Rolling Stone - Cover to Cover (Bondi)
Summary: 5 Stars

When Jann Wenner and Ralph Gleason founded Rolling Stone magazine in a small San Francisco office space in November 1967, computers were the size of a full room and counter culture was the order of the day. Back then, the only way to get the full contents of the magazine in compendium form was to purchase the annual bound books of multiple issues for a lofty price. But alas, technology has changed and now the folks at Bondi Digital Publishing have introduced the Bondi Reader, a groundbreaking, user-friendly browser that allows them to publish a DVD-ROM collection of every word, article, picture and issue from the 40 years of this venerable rock magazine. Suffice to say that everyone knows the impact that Wenner has had both chronicling the worlds of rock'n'roll, film, politics, et al, while also giving a platform to many of the leading voices of a generation - Hunter Thompson, Tom Wolfe, Lester Bangs, William Grieder and others as well as photographers ranging from Baron Wolman to Annie Leibowitz to Herb Ritts (lest we not forget the incredible illustrator Ralph Steadman!). What is different this time is that this Bondi edition, complete with coffee table book and a free subscription, has revolutionized the way publishing catalogs it's finest work. By choosing Rolling Stone (and it's just released Playboy: the 50's), Bondi has found perhaps the best subject to ably demonstrate it's digital publishing prowess, making this an essential holiday purchase and undoubtedly a harbinger of great things to come. Well done! - Tim Devine
