The £300/$600 Dylan book - for the fan who has everything

Published in September 2006, Thin Wild Mercury: Touching Dylan’s Edge, featuring the iconic work of Jerry Schatzberg, photographer of the Blonde On Blonde cover, is still available from Genesis Publications – last week’s re-launch issue of Rock N Reel magazine carries a half page display ad.

Thin Wild Mercury consists of almost 500 fine art photographs, almost half of them featuring Dylan in the mid-1960s. The edition is limited to 1,500 numbered copies, all signed by Schatzberg.

With a price tag of £285 plus carriage, it’s a valuable collectable, and not a book you’d risk on a coffee table or with the kind of visitors I get.

For the Dylan fan who already has everything else?
