A question about this place:
I first read about this in a Goeff Dyer book, does anyone know of any more travel books that are about or feature black rock city?

Black Rock City is a temporary city, it only exists for a few weeks a year during the Burning Man festival. I don’t know of any books that discuss travel to Black Rock City, but www.burningman.com has a wealth of information—to the point of being overwhelming.

If you have other specific questions you could see if others on this site can help you.

A search at A9 returns 33 books mentioning “Black Rock City”, but i’m not sure a travel book would be the best source of information about Black Rock City. Like Flash wrote, the Burning Man website offers a comprehensive overview. Read there first.

Avoid books about burning man. Talk to people who have been there. And remember: no matter what they tell you, believe ‘em, because it’s all true.

Can’t find local burners? Try the eplaya.

My advice: The heat isn’t so bad, you won’t mind the dust, the music isn’t that loud, everyone is wonderful all the time and I am a lying bastard. ;)

Have fun, see you down there!
