Every Bob Dylan Lyric Collected In Epic Book

10/09/2014
. (Radio.com) Every Bob Dylan lyric ever written will be collected together in a new book titled The Lyrics: Since 1962, making it what the president of Simon and Schuster, Jonathan Karp, calls "the biggest, most expensive book we've ever published."

The book will will be slightly larger than an LP, with more than 960 pages of Dylan's poetry, and weigh approximately 13 and a half pounds, according to The New York Times. The book will sell for $200, while an extremely limited version, signed by Dylan himself, will retail for $5,000.

Within the book's pages are tons of treasures that make the retail price seem like money well spent for ardent Dylan fans. Christopher Ricks, who wrote the 2003 book, Dylan's Visions of Sin, has penned a lengthy, "scholarly" introduction, and Ricks' co-editors, Lisa and Julie Nemrow, have designed the book's layout, which will present the song's chronologically, including reproductions of the original album art.
