Simply put, Blinds & Shutters is the sixties. Conceived by the late Rolling Stones photographer Michael Cooper and posthumously edited by his son Adam, this landmark of music history features recollections and commentary from 93 of Coopers friends and collaborators across music, art, and counterculture. It is a true experience to read as the photographs, facsimiles, and stories transport the reader back in time to one of the most electric periods in modern history.
