For the past 39 years- the covers of Rolling Stone have depicted the great icons of popular culture- from John Lennon- Bob Dylan- the Rolling Stones- and Madonna to Steve Martin- Uma Thurman- and Richard Nixon. Often it was an appearance on the cover that launched a performer*s legendary status in the first place. An enormous hit when it appeared in 1997 as Rolling Stone: The Complete Covers- 1967-1997 (nearly 100-000 copies sold in all editions)- this fantastic collection has been revised and updated to include the covers since 1997 up to the much-publicized 1-000th cover- slated to hit newsstands in May 2006. ****With an updated introduction by Jann S. Wenner as well as new excerpts from the magazine and quotes from photographers and their celebrity subjects- this nostalgic journey down the memory lane of pop music- entertainment- and politics is irresistible. **
