BOB DYLAN - MIXING UP THE MEDICINE

   "Several years ago, a treasure trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma.
   The documents, as essential as they are intriguing—draft lyrics, notebooks, and diverse ephemera— comprise one of the most important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away from the archival home of Dylan’s early hero, Woody Guthrie.
   Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the first wide-angle look at the Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both the Nobel Laureate’s many musical fans and to a broader national and international audience as well. It is the most comprehensive book yet published on the work of Nobel Prize–winning musician and cultural icon Bob Dylan.
   This sumptuous, 608-page tome spans the arc of his life, music, and art, from his childhood in Hibbing, Minnesota, and the first recordings made in the 1950s to his most recent albums and every important career milestone in between. The publication unlocks treasures from the Archive of the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It reveals a trove of Dylan’s manuscripts, letters, notebooks, song lyrics, recordings, photographs, films, artworks, and ephemera, never before seen by the public.
   Seven years in the making, the book is edited, designed, and produced with the singular quality for which Callaway is renowned. BOB DYLAN - MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the long-awaited grail for Dylan fans, music lovers, and book connoisseurs everywhere".

   The book was also published in French, German, Italian and Spanish. An edition in Chinese will be published by China Citic Press (details when available).
