Rolling Stone 1,000 Covers: A History of the Most Influencial Magazine in Pop Culture

For musicians and entertainers, there is no more desireable showcase than the Rolling Stone cover, where for the past thirty-eight years a talented photographer, illustrator or designer has been given the opportunity to create a new legend or give a fresh spin to a familiar face. Every cover from 1967 to 2006, ending with the 1000th cover (appearing on newstands in May 2006) will be added to the smaller chunky format of this new edition. A new introduction by Jann Wenner, new quotes from photographers and musicians, as well as relevant excerpts from the magazine will also be featured. As with the first edition, the covers will be presented chronologically.
