Dylan books written - and published - by fans

The already groaning Dylan bookshelves are now being weighed down further by a new genus of Publish-On-Demand (POD) books - written and financed by fans, and produced on demand by specialist printers like Trafford and Lulu, without the involvement of mainstream publishers or bookstores.

I’ve come across four Dylan titles in POD format:

· Bob Dylan Live In Canada, by Brady Leyser, reviewed here on publication
· Confessions Of A Dylanomaniac, by Paul Marcel Levesque
· Warehouse Eyes, by Peter James
· Life On The Tracks: Bob Dylan’s Songs, by Guido Bieri.

If you know of any more POD books on Dylan, please let The Dylan Daily know – we’d like to help these labours of love reach a wider audience.
