title: The American Book of the Dead
author:  Oliver Trager 
description: What's the meaning of &quot;The Eleven&quot;? Who were the Warlocks? What's the connection between Harry Belafonte and the Dead? The answers to these and other questions can be found here, amid profiles of the Dead's members and dozens of the artists whose work influenced them; exhaustive analyses of individual songs; explanations of countercultural phenomena (<A HREF="/exec/obidos/Author=Kesey%2CKen/${0}">Ken Kesey</A>'s Acid Tests); and scads of tie-dyed trivia. -- <i>Entertainment Weekly</i>
