ISBN: 9780226075624 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Tomorrow Never Knows" takes us back to the primal scene of the 1960s and asks: what happened when young people got high and listened to rock as if it really mattered as if it offered meaning and sustenance, not just escape and entertainment?
