If your coffee table isn't already groaning under the weight of interesting browsers, here's another one. 'The Illustrated Biography of Bob Dylan-A Unique Collection of 200 Classic, Rare & Unseen Photographs' collected by Chris Rushby, published 2009 and reprinted 2011.
Maybe there is something in the air, a nuclear bang, or the release of a studio album later in the year, but this is the second Dylan book that I have been handed in as many weeks. With a 'pic' on every page this biography could be recommended for both the old Dylanologist or the 21st century newcomer. A rich visual time line from 1961 all the way to the Never Ending Tour of 2006, accompanied by unobtrusive text. Without being too much of nothing, there are few photographs of the unseen variety, and most of the two hundred classics are in black and white, but coming in at under a fiver it wouldn't make a fella mean.
So, a cool book to increase the burden on that coffe table, or cheap enough to attack with a craft knife, frame the best and redecorate the shrine.

Napisala sam jedan tako kul review ali internet mi zabagovao (source: trust me bro)
Ukratko: kupila kad sam bila maleni fan 2012, ovo je u suštini slikovnica, ali Bobiška je nobelovac a ja sam lojalan fan te tako ne može manje od 3 zvezdice 🫡
