Lyrics 1962-2001 – new, paperback edition
As predicted here in the summer, when reporting that Virgin were clearing stocks of the hardback edition of 2004 at an unbelievable £5 per copy, the new (paperback) edition of Lyrics 1962-2001 has just hit the bookshops.
The paperback edition, published by Simon & Schuster at £16.99, looks to have exactly the same content as the hardback.
As regular contributor Martin Cowan says, “Unfortunately it only goes up to "Love And Theft", so once again our man is over the hills and far away...!”
Pity they couldn’t have delayed publicaton to include the lyrics from Modern Times. For the sake of a few weeks, they could have sold shed-loads more product. Don’t the publishers realise that mugs like me would have bought a copy, despite already owning the hardback, for the few extra pages? That there are tens (hundreds?) of thousands of enthusiasts who would buy sh*t in a box if it carried Dylan’s name on the front?
