... LIKE BLIND WILLIE McTELL
Here are the details I have so far about my Willie McTell biography... The title and subtitle are HAND ME MY TRAVELIN' SHOES: In Search of Blind Willie McTell. The UK hardback (the first edition) is published in London by Bloomsbury on July 2nd. Because it's much longer than the publisher expected - though not long by the standards of Song & Dance Man III: The Art of Bob Dylan or The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia - it will be priced at a recommended £20, rather than the £17.99 which is given as the full price on Amazon.co.uk.
It can be ordered from them already, apparently, though some price adjustment may be needed later. Anyway, you can click on the box somewhere here in the left-hand column, should you wish to order it this far ahead. The ISBN is 0 7475 6560 0, and under the crazy new 13-digit ISBN system it's 978-0747565604.
The front jacket is going to look something like the above.

Can't wait. Beautiful image too, do you have a link to others like this?
Hi there. Yes, a beautiful image. But I'm not sure what you mean by do I have a link to others like it.
The book will have about 12 photos inside it, and these were chosen from a large number (not all of Willie!) collected in a folder on my computer. But I don't have a website with McTell images on it, and don't know of any such site that's particularly good.
Of course there aren't many images of Willie, and no film footage.
Any estimate of availability in the U.S.?
Not yet: but this is something I shall definitely keep blogreaders posted on. Thanks for asking.
Thank you in advance for keeping us posted. If you become aware of shops in New York City that stock the book as a UK import let us know; I would rush to the nearest such store!
