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.”

New York Times Book Review

M Magazine (Le Monde)
