Love it. D. A. Norton I love this book. The actual music is great but sometimes it's hard to hear the lyrics. I was surprised at how many songs Bob Dylan has written. It's interested to me to just open it to a page and read the lyrics for a song. Also I bought it as a collectible as he won the Noble Prize this year.. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I ordered for my boyfriend who is a HUGE bob dylan fan,oh my gosh this lyric book is so nice,& WAY bigger glossier than expected, it's a REALLY nice collectors item,so DEFINITELY don't hesitate to order it if you're a huge bob dylan fan or if you know someone who is,i personally think it would be an excellent christmas gift for that person in your life who is DEFINITELY a fan..

Murakami, Roth, Sondheim and others. For those who follow him closely, savoring his witticisms, poignant observations and the unexpected word at precisely the right time, the acknowledgment is long overdue, with all respect to Messrs. Dylan is among the most authentic voices America has produced, a maker of images as audacious and resonant
