Untold Dylan
, February 14, 2020
I’ll come straight out and say I love this book. But you need to be aware… Books from EDLIS Café are different – for they are taken from EDLIS projects on the Internet. So if you want to get a flavour of what this is all about go and visit their Facebook group – it is one of the very few Bob Dylan Facebook pages I would ever recommend other than our own. And the point here is there is such a rich variety of information and material collected on their Facebook pages that having all that information in book form is essential, allowing easier reading of the article and much better surveillance of the pictures than you can get on the Internet. In fact the book is worth its cost just for the Robert Shelton interview with Dylan’s “Mom and Dad”. Since my copy arrived each time I have been working I have had the book open on my desk, just below the computer screen, turning the picture pages over and over to get what I hope is an ever deeper awareness of the town in which Bob grew up. Of course I know about it from other volumes – but here I feel I am brought much closer to the world Bob knew as a kid. Maybe it is because I am English and thus have no background in the American traditions and histories that are included in these pictures and stories that the impact on me is so great, but I am looking at a world that is quite alien to me, and yet it is one which I have glimpsed through occasional lines in Bob’s songs...

Bob Dylan Fan Club
, February 14, 2020
This is the best Bob Dylan book I have ever seen. Why? Because it is different, it shows the Hibbing roots of Bob Dylan which echo through so much of his work, in songs most obviously but also in paintings, sculpture, prose and films. Cars, motorbikes, mining, labour politics, unions, small town America, weather extremes, films, films and films again. The film theatres in this book evoke a time in the past when taking a date to a film was magical. Especially with access to a crying room! And to see the seeds of Bob's fashion sense, I love the pic of Gus Hall in his hat and the similar hats of Bob Dylan in the images to each side. And Curly's Bar, you can picture Bob there, underage, listening to the poetry, with friends all drinking, thinking that they've got it made… The Finnish club and the Finns he befriended at a time when there was bizarre racial prejudice against Finns. This book is not an analysis of songs and meanings. It is not an exposé of anyone's personal life. It is not a remake of the many predictable books on Bob Dylan. It is instead about the origins, the myths, the speculation that in the final end shows you why Bob Dylan came out of that little Minnesota town. When you next share a room with Bob Dylan and see him onstage you may be surprised how many of the images in this book you still have in your mind as they are shown to you in his performance. You will see them shine. A large book. Lavishly illustrated. Buy it. You won't regret it.

This new book is self published by an expanding group of Dylan fans on the internet that started in the 80's and morphed into the EDLIS Cafe. It is the first in a series that devotes itself to the myriad influences on the life and work of Bob Dylan covering his early life in his Minnesota home. It is well-referenced and has around 250 vintage and eclectic photos of people, places, and ephemera that he knew and liked. It has lots of text written as stories and memories of those whose lives have been changed by Bob. This is not a one-time read; instead it is a book to refer to again as more of Bob's writings and songs come into your world.
