Following yesterday’s piece about Thin Wild Mercury: Touching Dylan’s Edge, by Jerry Schatzberg, photographer of the Blonde On Blonde cover, from Genesis Publications, Ron Martin writes:
“Dylan Daily readers might also be interested to learn that Genesis have published two earlier Dylan titles in their limited edition photographic series, first offered at around £300 each:
* Early Dylan, by Barry Feinstein, Daniel Kramer and Jim Marshall, offered in an edition of 250, which apparently sold out in three weeks.
* Dylan In Woodstock, by Elliott Landy.”

Thanks to Ron for the info. Some people buy Genesis books, like all limited editions, as beautiful artefacts, others because they are collectors, and some see them simply as investments. It would be interesting to learn from any reader with direct experience about price trends for such collectables.
