Summary: All-purpose guide to the Beats
Comment: This anthology is a great starting point for anyone who wants to get a flavor of the Beat style. For those who crave more, the extensive bibliography is a fine reference. All the major players, women as well as men, are included in this book. If you have to get any general book on the Beat Generation, get this one.

Summary: Good Start for the "Beat"en Path
Comment: Nice sampler... all the writers you should expect are in here.
A feature I enjoyed particularly was the intro section... read about the writer before the piece. Since I had not heard of so many of these writers, I found it intriguing to see how many were part of the same group of friends. The Beats largely were connected with each other's lives... and fed off each other's style and work.
Buy this book, then go get the full works of these individual writers. For an anthology of Beat writers, you will find no better book.
I fully recommend this book.

Summary: Essential for fans of 20th century literature
Comment: Simply put, this is what I turn to when I need inspiration for reading, for creating, for anything. It combines wonderful bios of everyone from Kerouac to Bob Dylan, and their poems, book excerpts, and lyrics galore. Absolutely enjoyable, absolutely essential. Thank god for Ann Charters.
