A book exploring the visual and material culture of the Summer of Love

This handsome book, which accompanies an exhibition at the de Young museum, celebrates San Francisco's rebellious and colourful counterculture that blossomed in the years surrounding the 1967 Summer of Love.

In addition, there's a two page map of 1967 San Francisco which marks out important venues, shops, art studios, and even a few well known houses such as The Family Dog Commune and Jefferson Airplane mansion).  

Presenting key cultural artefacts of the time, Summer of Love is a colourful history that brings to life the events and experiences of this dynamic era.
