About This Item
Founded in San Francisco, on Baker Beach, in 1986, to celebrate the summer solstice. The Burning Man Festival was relocated to the Black Rock Desert north of Reno, Nevada, in 1990. It's really in the middle of nowhere. Absolutely flat high-altitude desert that is just a dry alkali bed. It gets really hot in August, and it can have blinding 60 mph winds. Since the festival has grown exponentially over the years there's a lot of logistics. This is what the book is about, festival layout and shelter, plus amazing art on a monumental scale. It doesn't get much more creative, and it lasts for a week. Then there's the 'Leave No Trace' policy that means that the site must be left just as it was found. This book is in fine, like new condition, which is rare because no hippies have thumbed it with their munchie fingers. First edition (so stated). Great book.
