    Cover was bent back…perhaps due to shipping(?). Otherwise, happy with purchase.

    Truthful, dive in the mind of Kurt

    Awesome sauce, great price for paperback! A great read for any nirvana fan, or music fan in general also. Dive into the mind of a great song writer, guitarist.

  • Great Read

    I found this Journal at a store in Seattle when I was visiting but they wanted $30+ I bought on here and it's a good inside view of how Kurt Cobain thought and good reads before Nirvana became successful. I recommend this.
