1. Where can I buy Bob Dylan collectors' items?
===============================================
Some of us have the good fortune to live in places that have an
adequate supply of record stores, well informed collectors with the
latest gab on your favorite artists, and record shows; if you aren't
in such a location, you may feel out of touch. Don't fret! Even the
most avid record hounds use mail-order as a reliable way to purchase
books, posters, and memorabilia (not to mention information regarding
new records, tours, etc...)
Here are a few recommended sources:
U.S.: Rolling Tomes - P.O. Box 1943, Grand Junction, Colorado 81502.
Phone: 970-245-4315 Monday through Friday 10-6 Mountain time,
24 hr. fax: 970-243-8025. They accept Mastercard, Visa, checks,
money orders, and international money orders drawn from a U.S. bank
in U.S. funds. This is an essential source for Dylan fans in the
United States and across the world - their inventory covers everything
from back issues of fan magazines to books to records and videotapes.
Rolling Tomes is also the distributor for several Dylan magazines,
namely Homer, Isis, Look Back, and On the Tracks.
U.S.: Goldmine Magazine - 700 E. State St., Iola, WI 54990-0001.
This is a collectors forum with advertising from record dealers all
over the world, published biweekly. They will send a free trial
issue to you if you request one... Goldmine contains loads of
mail-order information, so you'll need a few hours poring over an
issue (often with a magnifying glass) to sort it all out.
U.K.: My Back Pages - P.O. Box 117, Carlisle CA1 2UL.
Accepts pounds sterling or US dollars by check, postal money order,
or international money order. Another good source for books,
and also distributes the magazine Isis.
# U.K.: (New address!) Wanted Man: PO Box 307, Richmond, Surrey TW10 5AQ
Distributes The Telegraph magazine. (see my notes about the uncertain
future of the Telegraph elsewhere in the FAQ).
2. What books about Dylan's life and music are available?
=========================================================
The number of publications about Bob Dylan continues to grow rapidly:
Here is a three-part overview of some of the better-known books,
divided by subject material. This is only the tip of the iceberg -
better to check a catalog or your local libraries and bookstores for
greater detail.
If you read the following list and think you might want to read many of
these books but could never afford them, do not despair! Inform your
local library of the vast, untapped multitude of popular music resources
by recommending some of these titles to them. Do not be afraid; most
librarians do not bite. After all, what good is a public library that
does not take suggestions from its public? These books are, for the most
part, well-written commentary on the life and music of one of the most
significant popular songwriters of this century, and are a worthy addition
to a library collection...
Also, library catalogues will help you get an overview of published
monographs related to Bob Dylan. A good first catalogue to check is
found in California, and access is easy if you already have full
Internet access.
http://www.melvyl.ucop.edu/
If this union catalogue proves inadequate investigate the "use"
command by typing in "help use" from within melvyl.
Another source to check is the Library of Congress. There is a
good z39.50 www-gateway to locis (lcc) on:
telnet locis.loc.gov
http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/mums2.html
Probably the best library collection for Bob Dylan is
telnet ul.cam.ac.uk
http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/catalogue/k.html
If the hundreds of free online public access catalogues available
on the Internet are not enough for you there are more
sophisticated sources such as CURL, OCLC, First Search, RLIN,
UTLAS, NACSIS and the like... But you will need a password and
someone must pay the bill!

[Probably the best general studies of Dylan that have yet appeared.
Williams largely eschews lyric analysis and biography in favor of an
admittedly nebulous look at Dylan the "performer:" singer, songwriter,
movie maker, song and dance man. You might not agree with everything
Williams says, but there's no better survey of his output]

3. Are there magazines about Dylan to which I could subscribe?
==============================================================
There are several highly regarded periodicals devoted to Dylan's
career - again, this is not a complete listing, but merely a guide:
The Telegraph is the oldest and perhaps best known Dylan fan magazine.
Sadly, its future is uncertain with the passing of editor John
Bauldie. Back issues are well worth seeking out. For more
information, see the Telegraph web site
http://users.powernet.co.uk/barrett/The-Telegraph/default.html
Isis (UK - P.O.Box 1182, Bedworth, CV12 0ZA. England.
bi-monthly, subscriptions currently $64.95/yr. via Rolling Tomes)
is excellent for information regarding bootleg audio & video material
plus a comprehensive guide to Dylan's constant touring. For more
information, see the Isis web site
http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~isis
E-mail address is is@netcomuk.co.uk.
ICE (US, P.O. Box 3043, Santa Monica, CA 90408, monthly, subscribe
directly for $30/yr in North America, $40/yr elsewhere) is a newsletter
that provides information on new CDs, re-issued CDs, underground CDs,
and planned releases, all from reliable sources. Again, not a Dylan
magazine, but usually contains something regarding Dylan CDs...
ICE can be reached by email for questions and comments regarding
compact discs, as well as subscription information, at: EMAILICE@aol.com
A sample copy can be obtained from their web site at
http://www.icemagazine.com.

FAX (715) 445-4087. Subscriptions $35/yr.)
This is a record and CD collectors' publication, published
twice a month, known for being a forum for bootleg buyers and
sellers. Goldmine has phased out detailed advertisements from all
but the largest dealers, including a crackdown on classified ads.
This includes tapes and videos, but *not* CD's. Subscriptions are $35
for a year; you can call and order by Visa/MC, or mail them a check or
money order. If you call them they will send you a free sample copy.
You may also subscribe over the web at
http://www.krause.com/goldmine/html/subscribe.html.

by Rolling Tomes [address above], quarterly, US subscriptions currently
$24.95/yr, or $39.95/yr to also receive the monthly newsletter,
Series of Dreams) Features interviews, columns by well-known Dylan
commentators, such as Paul Williams, and importantly, includes the
Rolling Tomes catalog within its pages. The companion newsletter
covers the gritty details such as concert dates, setlists, news events
and rumors.
