This is a fantastic book. It has a lot of detail and is wirtten in a nice style. A great book to just have lying around and just grab when you think of another Dylan song you'd like to know the background of. I especially enjoyed the information about 'Lay Lady, Lay' and how the directors of 'Midnight Cowboy' approached Dylan for a song before settling on Nilsson's 'Everybody's Talkin''
