When all is said & done, Patti Smith will be cherished as a cultural icon, if she isn’t already. Still touring in her late 70s, her music continues to speak to multiple generations. Her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe ensured her visual immortality through his photographs; their life together recorded by others such as Judy Linn & in Smith’s extraordinary Just Kids.

Patti Smith: Complete [our copy is the 1998 First Edition, Signed by Smith in Philadelphia] is filled with lyrics, poems & thoughts, illustrated throughout with original drawings plus b&w photographs by Mapplethorpe, Annie Liebovitz, Linda McCartney, Michael Stipe & others.
