An amazing Phish resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I just picked up my copy of this book again the other day after having read it once about six months ago. Here's what I found amazing about it- Budnick provides so much information in an easy-to-read format. Hundreds of entries on individual songs and people with tidbits and suggested versions, show suggestions, other arcane and fascinating info and some cool pictures too. I always take this with me on tour and in fact I keep a copy in my backpack and refer to it often. Of course it also helps that Dean Budnick is a long-time Phish.netter who has been very generous with trading his tapes with old-timers and newbies alike.
A great resource

Dean does an excellent job compiling essential shows, "lures," as well as detailing every song Phish has ever played. Especially helpful are the dates denoting varied or exceptional versions of songs.
Worthy Addition To The Eventual Phish Literary Canon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Besides being a overall nice guy and the person most likely to trade tapes with newbies, Dean has done an outstanding job decoding the secret, stealth language and customs behind the world of the musical group Phish. An excellent companion piece to The Pharmers Almanac, The Phishing Manual will satisfy the neophyte Phan with its inclusive lists on cover songs, band phriends, and classic shows. One can only hope that Dean will be updating this work for the 1997 tour.
Great book for any Phish phan!

Dean Budnick explains everything that there is to know about Phish. Every possible tour story, song explanation, and tape review is found in the Manual. I recommend it to anybody that has ever grooved to a Phish tape and said "Damn, these guys are great!"
Outstanding book...read on!!!
