Amazon.com Review
Created as a companion piece to Martin Scorsese's PBS documentary No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, The Bob Dylan Scrapbook, 1956-1966 is a visual and educational treat for old and new Dylanphiles alike. Written by Robert Santelli, the director of Seattle's Experience Music Project and curator of the museum's Bob Dylan's American Journey exhibit, the book is very well researched and presented in a scrapbook format filled with removable reproductions, including handwritten lyrics of "Gates of Eden," "Blowin' in the Wind," and "Chimes of Freedom," programs of Dylan's historical performances, various bits of memorabilia, and endless amount of photographs. The Bob Dylan Scrapbook, 1956-1966 will provide the new Dylan fan with loads of background information and anecdotes that were left out of Scorsese's film. Lifelong Dylanphiles will likely know Dylan's late 1950s to mid 1960s history already, and will be enchanted by the endless reproductions that are strategically placed throughout the book. If that wasn't enough, the book also includes a 45 minute CD of 18 interviews, ten of which appeared in the No Direction Home documentary. If you ever want to open someone up to the world of Bob Dylan there is no better place to point them to this incredible trifeca: No Direction Home: Bob Dylan on DVD, No Direction Home: The Soundtrack (The Bootleg Series Vol. 7) on CD, and this wonderful book. --Rob Bracco

 A True Treasure Chest December 23, 2009
Lawrence J. Epstein (New York)
Reading this book is like going into the Bob Dylan attic and discovering a treasure chest. Each page contains some new and unexpected delight. Robert Santelli's prose is precise and clear and useful.
The other reviewers have listed the sections and the materials. The reproductions are excellent, and you get a real sense of handling original material.
The stuff here almost creates a new dimension to appreciating Dylan, and so this is a must-have for Dylan fans.
--Lawrence J. Epstein, author of Political Folk Music in America from Its Origins to Bob Dylan
 False advertisement March 12, 2009

When it says "International delivery available" , you wonder why you receieve a message after you have paid that reads: "We cannot ship to your destination"! However, I did get my money back, hence the one-star rating.
So Cool! March 29, 2008
Rose of Sharon (Chicago, IL)
I got this for a friend who is a huge Bob Dylan junkie. It was perfect, and about as close to stalking him as she'll get.
The book I forgot December 31, 2007
A. Pierre (Somewheres)
I forgot this book and then I saw it on a clearance aisle. Seriously, who would put this book in the clearance aisle? I snatched the book up like a thief. This book is just like Sinatra Treasures and very fun to look at. I highly recommend this to any Dylan fan.
GRRRREAT!!! September 24, 2007

Really GREAT pictures of his earlier times--check out two of Bob's stunning pictures--one on page 23 and another on page 38--Wow!! Both of these pictures are very clear and sharp!! We like them that way, right folks? You also get replications of handwritten lyrics and replications of all sorts of interesting memorabilia, plus interesting reading also. This is a must have scrap book for fans. I'm happy I got it. I found it interesting to notice that in a very stunning picture of Joan Baez where she is next to Bob Dylan in a mini booklet inserted on page 28 that she had gorgeous lips just as Bob Dylan had gorgeous lips noticeable in many pictures and during the press conference at San Francisco--on the DVD, Dylan Speaks (during the close-ups). They made a beautiful couple indeed. Both had artistic style noses, beautiful long fingers and gorgeous lips. There are all sorts of things to discover and look at. What do you see or discover in this scrapbook?
