This book has several Zappa references, like any other general book about 60s  rock music. Plus a chapter on groupies, some Zappa song quotes etc. But the main reason why we have this book here in our collection is the cover of the Dutch edition (see below).

Jerry Hopkins interviewed Zappa in 1968. He visited Zappa together with photographer Baron Volman. As a result Zappa appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone #14, which included this important interview.

Another cool story by Jerry Hopkins is "Frank Zappa's Bicycle Debut".
