BOB DYLAN NOTEBOOKS

These are blank notebooks: first are the official Sony Music promo material, then the unofficial items available on the Internet or home made. Online shops sell various notebooks presenting Bob Dylan's image or quotations from his songs. Home made items often use covers and even vinyls of sacrified LP (shame...).
