Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Sized slightly larger than a double CD set, this is not really a book in a traditional sense, except that it is made of paper and bound between two hard covers. This is an assemblage of black and white photos with random thoughts generated by Dylan on various subjects (Example: "God is woman. You take it from there." This is superimposed over a b&w photo of a naked, anonymous, headless woman tastefully covering her torso with her arms.). The quotes are completely without context, except a context imposed by the book's designer, Grant Scott, via the selection of accompanying photo subjects (Allen Ginsberg, Dylan at various ages, Earth as seen from space, etc.)
For hardcore collectors or Dylan worshippers only.

A spokesperson for a generation, Bob Dylan gave a voice to the young, and his words were, and still are, truly revolutionary. Bob Dylan: Inspirations conveys the spirit of the man and the inspiration he has brought to millions through his poignant music. This intriguing book is composed entirely of Dylan's own words. Photos of Dylan and captivating images illustrate his words beautifully: " "When I get involved in something, I get totally involved. I don't just play around on the fringe." " "I went over my whole life. I went over my whole childhood. I didn't talk to anyone for a week after Elvis died. If it wasn't for Elvis and Hank Williams, I couldn't be doing what I do today." " "I don't call myself a poet because I don't like the word. I am a trapeze artist." The book is filled with over 50 striking photographs in a thoroughly modern design for a unique look. Pull it out when you need some inspiration from the master.
