About the Book:

Jim Morrison and The Doors by Mike Jahn is a landmark publication—originally released in 1969 as the very first book ever written about The Doors. Published by Grosset & Dunlap in softcover only (no hardcover edition was ever issued), this out-of-print treasure captures the raw energy and early mystique of one of rock’s most legendary bands at the height of their rise.

Author Mike Jahn, then a young journalist, had the foresight to recognize the cultural power of Jim Morrison and his bandmates before history fully cemented their place in music. His book is unauthorized, candid, and brimming with insights that make it an authentic snapshot of the Doors phenomenon in real time.

Inside are 95 pages filled with rare photographs, many of which are nearly impossible to find outside of this edition. For fans, collectors, and rock historians alike, this book offers a rare chance to see The Doors as they were being discovered—before myth and legend overtook the man and the music.
