ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Levi's jeans are the consummate American icon. For nearly 150 years, Levi's "RM" jeans have been woven into the very fabric of American history and culture. America's love affair with jeans is movingly documented, and the wonderfully original Levi's advertising campaigns brilliantly reproduced. From the gold fields of California to the oil fields of Oklahoma, from wheat fields of Kansas to cattle drives in Texas -- from Woodstock to Haight Ashbury to Rodeo Drive -- Levi's "RM" jeans is the way to go. (Forward by Richard Martin, Metropolitan Museum of Art.).

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
