Woodstock 40th Anniversary Celebrated in New Book

BOSTON, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of the Woodstock Festival, Adams Media has released WOODSTOCK REVISITED: 50 Stories From Those Who Were There, edited by Susan Reynolds. This is the first and only book to focus on the kids on the ground, chronicling the audience experience at Woodstock 1969 in an up close and personal way. It has been lauded as a landmark collection of stories chronicling an important event.

By providing a mesmerizing portrait of America in 1969 -- as a tumultuous decade came to a dramatic close -- this nostalgic, historical, and fascinating book offers cross-generational appeal. The intimate views of those three historic days do more than evoke colorful memories -- they offer a personal and rare glimpse into a time that will never be recreated and may answer the question: Where have all the hippies gone?

Despite her conservative exterior, Susan Reynolds happily, and unwittingly, joined the throngs of young people congregating at Woodstock -- an event that shaped her life and her generation. She went on to become a professional writer and editor, authoring five nonfiction books and editing five others. Her deja vu Woodstock moment came 34 years later at a massive Anti-Iraq demonstration in Paris. Ms. Reynolds, who loves discussing the legacy of Woodstock, lives in Boston, MA, and is available for interviews. Contributors located throughout America are also available for interviews.

WOODSTOCK REVISITED has topped numerous "Best Woodstock Books" lists, including Good Morning America's "Top 8 Woodstock Books."
