From the first to the very last page it is very clear this book is all about loving.
For anyone who experienced the 60s in person it is a joy to read and thus remember those happy days with it`s odd spatting of frustrating days added in.
The 60s music is best enlightened by ones personal and occasional thoughts as one turns the pages and reads this book and remembers.
If your a child of the 60s like me, this book will cause you to remember the days you may have thought you had forgotten forever.
Grateful Dead fans will fail to remember the days OF THE 60s AND 70s...they were far too busy enjoying the experience for real.
So Deadheads buy copy of this book to help to fill in the parts that you lucky ones can`t remember at all...
Read "Need More Love", and the world will look a better place tomorrow then it did yesterday.
A highly recommended read for all past those that still wear a flowers in their hair and remember Jerry Garcia and NFA.
Robert Crumb fans will not be disappointed at all...by Aline Kominsky-Crumb.... wife of Robert....
Peace and enjoy when you turn it`s pages.

Love that bunch!
28 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover
I've been reading Aline Kominsky-Crumb's comix for many, many years - from her appearances in the Twisted Sister anthology to her more recently published work (in comics co-drawn with husband Robert Crumb) in The New Yorker.
This hefty book is part memoir, part scrapbook, part diary, and is packed with personal photos, drawings, and illustrations. Aline Kominsky-Crumb doesn't flinch in her recollections of her wonderfully rich and sometimes dissolute life. Crumb fans will get a thrill at seeing photographs of their old, rambling chateau in a medieval village in France (Le sigh). I paid full retail for this book at Cody's Books in Berkeley, and believe me, it's worth every penny.

Who Doesn't?
21 May 2007
Format:Hardcover
There's nothing more appealing than when an unapologetic woman lets her big appetite hang out!
It's a thrill to see these stories, some of which have been parceled out to us piecemeal over the years, collected in one volume, with Aline's artwork, photographs, words lending further context and depth. It's so heavy, I'm afraid it'll fall off the shelf and crush me in my sleep! Actually, there are plenty of worse ways to go...
Much as I love her #1 husband's "aht", as far as I'm concerned, Aline's no second banana. She's the whole dang Bunch!

Need more Kominsky Crumb after reading this!
15 April 2007
Format:Hardcover
This is a lavishly produced, witty, moving and life-affirming book. As another reviewer has said, despite the grotesque way she usually draws herself, the author is a genuinely beautiful woman in many ways, and her zest for life, despite her miserable upbringing, is infectious. I hope that this book will lead to greater exposure for Kominsky Crumb, and more comics from her, both solo and in collaboration with Robert, Sophie, or the three of them.
