Inside the Dream Palace: The Life and Times of New York's Legendary Chelsea Hotel | 
The Chelsea Hotel, since its founding has been an icon of American invention: a haven for the counterculture. Sherill Tippins,delivers a masterful and endlessly entertaining history of the Chelsea and of the successive generations of artists who have cohabited and created there, among them Arthur Miller, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Andy Warhol, and Sid Vicious.
Just starting this one. Seem to be on a non-fiction kick at the minute.

After reading Just Kids I had a bit of an obsession with the Hotel Chelsea and all of the #dreams that were born there, especially in the 60's and 70's. So obviously I had to have this book. I remember it being a bit too in-depth regarding the more dry aspects of the building, but still a fascinating story!

Definitely a different type of palace!!
A couple of bargain book pick-ups today. Cross' "Heavier Than Heaven" is great, so this should be a decent companion piece, and a book about the history of the Chelsea Hotel sounds interesting.
