The Complete Gandalf's Garden by Muz Murray et al.
Gandalf's Garden chronicled the flower-power scene of the
60's London. The "mystical scene magazine" concentrated on the
spiritual aspect of hippie life, and served to connect people in
London and around the world who were looking for an alternative
to the dreary and destructive realities of industrialization,
war, or even the darker aspects of the "turned on" life.
Murray & Company produced six issues of the Garden, all of
which are highly sought after by collectors.
This CD-ROM includes quality scans of every page from the
series, as well as photos from the shop, recollections from the
many "gardeners" on staff, and reviews of the magazine from back
in the day. I've got a few prized copies of the printed
magazines, and while nothing can beat holding them in one's
hands, this collection gives me much of the same thrill.
