In the first major biography of Janis Joplin in two decades, comes a new book title "Love, Janis" (Villard Books) written by Laura Joplin, Janis' kid sister. It's a fascinating look at one of rock's all-time legends, featuring 25 never before seen letters from Janis to her family. They reveal her impressions of the early San Francisco rock scene and her thoughts on her rising stardom and subsequent fame.
