Synopsis
Billing itself as an "interactive biography," and produced in conjunction with Martin Scorsese's PBS documentary NO DIRECTION HOME, THE BOB DYLAN SCRAPBOOK journeys from the singer's 1950s Minnesota youth to the motorcycle accident that provided a useful excuse for his mid-'60s career hiatus. Handsomely bound in its own thick cardboard folder, it includes a CD of rare interviews dating from the early 1960s to 2004. The SCRAPBOOK is a treasure trove of loose-leafed facsimile reproductions of Dylan memorabilia, from a newspaper advertisement for his family's furniture business in Hibbing to the cover of Dylan's personal copy of his hero Woody Guthrie's book BOUND FOR GLORY. Copious photographs from various stages in his career are prominently featured, as well as numerous meticulous copies of artifacts and career mementoes (one concert program reproduction even duplicates the original's staple rust marks). With informed commentary, the book traces the broad outline of Dylan's evolution from the gawky youth recently arrived at the hub of the American folk scene in Greenwich Village, through his first recording forays accompanying then more established folk performers like Carolyn Hester, to his first public recognition as a vital new artist. Slowly and fascinatingly, the iconic image of the mercurial spokesman of the riotous '60s emerges over the course of this polished tribute.

Industry Reviews
"[T]he literary equivalent of a rummage through Bob's musty old ottoman....Obsessive Bobcats will purr over the trove of ingeniously presented facsimile artifacts...lending colour and form to items that otherwise existed only in mythical lore...."
