6. NEW BOOKS

The flood of new Dylan books continued. Here's a, no doubt incomplete, list: Anonymous Looking For Some Answers - The Bob Dylan Quiz Book Agast Publications, 1994. 40 pages. 500 Dylan questions (and answers) on all levels of knowledge. Glen Dundas Tangled Up In Tapes, The recordings of Bob Dylan SMA Services, 1994. 366 pages, large format. The third edition of this "alternative" Krogsgaard. This edition has a song index (only tour songs) and a section on "missing" tapes. The video section is understandably much shorter this time. There is no way to keep track of all the different audience videos, Dundas concentrates on the official and broadcast stuff. Oddly enough there are no details about backing musicians. Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration Official song book from BobFest. Bob Dylan The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration Spanish book with all the song lyrics (mostly as actually performed) both in English and Spanish. Bob Dylan Drawn Blank Random House 1994.
