Thanks to Andrew Kelly:
“I was in HMV at Oxford Circus over the Bank Holiday, where the Dylan scrapbook is currently selling for £10. It doesn’t appear to be a special offer and there were about 5 copies.
“Additionally the Zavvi shop (formerly Virgin) opposite the Dominion at Tottenham Ct Rd is offering “No Direction Home” for £4 if you spend £20.
“Thought Mr Dylan was in arch form on R2 last night.”
Fellow consumers of Dylan product with an eye for a bargain will be pleased to hear that The Bob Dylan Scrapbook (Simon & Schuster, 2005), which has stubbornly resisted discounting from its (absurd) £30 list price, is now being heavily discounted.
I came across a pile a couple of weeks ago at Soho’s Original Bookshop, priced at £9.95. The shop’s in Charing Cross Road, across the side street from Foyle’s, and opposite Borders.
The Scrapbook’s an evocative collection of memorabilia – photographs, facsimile ticket stubs and festival posters.
Soho’s Original Bookshop also had discounted copies of Gilbert’s Forever Young: Portraits of Bob Dylan (£7.99), and a full–priced Drawn Blank (£33). If you see some Dylan product @ bargain prices – CDs, DVDs, books, memorabilia – please let me know: bargains@dylandaily.com
