Recensione:

‘Compiled with the help of Mr Dylan himself, this plush scrapbook documents his early years, with rare photographs, handwritten lyrics, concert programmes and tickets, documents and a CD holding interviews and live performances.’
Guardian 26/09
‘A collector’s dream of amazing images and pull-out documents’
ESQUIRE October issue
‘Finally, Simon and Schuster pitch in next month with THE BOB DYLAN SCRAPBOOK, 1956 – 1966, a fully authorised collection of rare and unseen photographs, handwritten lyrics and memorabilia, and featuring a 77-minute CD of interviews and Dylan’s own recollections lifted from No Direction Home.’
‘Housed in its robust and handsome slipcase, SCRAPBOOK combines a straightforward, but by no means lightweight, account of the singer’s early career ... some evocative photographs, a CD of enlightening interviews and a plethora of paper artefacts from Dylan’s career. These include flyers, posters, tickets, promotional material, stickers, backstage passes, newspaper cuttings and the lyrics of a number of his best-known songs. Each piece of history is reproduced with devoted care, right down to using the appropriate kind of paper. They are all housed in a delightful nooks and crannies within the book and they can be held, examined, pored over, admired ... for the reader/handler (explorer seems nearer the mark) the result of all this effort is a real pleasure.’
Daily Telegraph 01/10
‘Following the revelatory triumph of Chronicles and coinciding with Martin Scorsese’s monumental Bob-doc, here’s the literary equivalent of a rummage through Bob’s musty old ottoman ... Obsessive Bobcats will purr over the trove of ingeniously presented facsimile artefacts ... 30 quid seems not much to ask for such unprecedented access to a remarkable man’s soul’
Mojo November issue
The success last year of CHRONICLES, his brilliant first volume of autobiography, has produced in its wake a slew of books, including the paperback version for those that missed it first time ... the true Dylan disciple will hope to receive The Dylan Scapbook, a sumptuous companion to the documentary, complete with its own archive of handwritten lyrics, photographs, handbills and tickets – enough to keep any Bobheads drooling well in to the New Year’
The Times, Christmas Books 3/12
‘Another classy example of the genre ... is The Bob Dylan Scapbook.’
Independent 2/12

Born Robert Allen Zimmerman in 1941, Bob Dylan is without question one of the most influential figures in the history of popular music. He not only revolutionised popular music by incorporating poetry in his folk and rock compositions, he also helped create a more inclusive and progressive consciousness in American culture.
