唯一不开心的是书角被磕到了，希望打包快递的时候可以在书籍外加一层保护。

完美的书，有谁会不喜欢。

This book is exactly what it claims to be: a collection of Dylan's lyrics, and about the best one there is.

There aren't annotations, or essays, or anything like that. It is just very simply a collection of the lyrics to use as a reference, or to page through and read for pleasure. The lyrics are presented very nicely, in a large font, with each song getting its own page or pages if it's length requires more than one. The songs are presented in the order they appeared in on the album they were released in, with b-sides and other releases collected at the end of the section for the album that came out closest to when they were written. Each album has a title page with art from the album presented in black and white, and a page showing Dylan's hand written or typed draft of a song from the album. In terms of layout and content, it is almost just like the 2002 lyrics collection, only with the much needed update of 10 years of additional material. If you liked that book, you know basically what you're getting here.

It is not 100% complete with everything he has written... I noticed that Marchin' to the City, a favorite track of mine that I think has only been released on Tell Tale Signs, was not included. The book does include many of the songs that he's written that weren't on his albums, though, and while there might be a couple obscurities missing, you will find a ton of great stuff anyway. As far as the claim that this collection features lyrics that have been newly edited by Dylan, I didn't find any yet, but I haven't read every lyric in the book or compared them all to earlier versions. I'm a big Dylan fan, but not a Dylanologist that spends his life studying every detail, so I look forward to the articles by those people which I'm sure are forthcoming that will examine the lyrics that have been changed.

As far as supplemental material, multiple versions of the songs, color art, and extras like that, the large Dylan lyrics book from a couple years ago had more of those things. However, it was a gigantic, massive book, and it also cost a couple hundred dollars more than this one, depending on when you bought it. Personally, although that collection is beautiful, the size is an impediment for me. If you want a collection you can actually read, that one is awfully heavy and inconvenient. This is the one I would get.

But in the meantime, if you want a book collecting the work of our greatest living songwriter, here it is, beautifully presented in a high quality volume. Doesn't get much better than that.

Absolutely essential collection of all lyrics Dylan has written. It has all all recorded songs including the takeoffs from vinyl era plus singles that have not been in albums. Interesting bonus is also those texts that were not meant to be songs. It's nice to listen albums with this book open in every song coming from the player. Sometimes it is necessary helping to follow songs which don't open easily by just listening. It can also be considered as a excellent poem book just reading it. Because my own language is not English it is necessary to me. I have had all three previous books of which the one before this ended year 2001. This will not stand in bookself, it's almost in constent use. I'm happy to say this was published.

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.

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.

so what is there to say - I've been a Dylan fan for over 50 years - back to when I played bass and our group covered many of his tunes - I always wanted the lyrics to them all -king of got them piecemeal - this is great
