FEATURES & REVIEWS
“In the end, this first major book publication by the Dylan Archive makes a large part of the books published about Dylan de facto superfluous, because they suddenly seem speculative and subjective in retrospect.”
– Die Welt
“[A] lavishly illustrated collection of archival treasures….The artifacts here are full of history…Luminous.”
"This is the bible for Dylanologists the world over."
As also seen in the pages of AARP, Vanity Fair, Le Figaro, The Telegraph, No Depression, and more.
