July 13, 2006 was the official publication date for The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia in the UK. (It had been published in the US that June 15.) I'd like to say I think my publishers, Continuum, did a fine job in producing a lovely-looking book at a remarkable price. They also continue to give support to my live events, in the form of posters and flyers. I hope be able to supply a new list of forthcoming dates soon. These should include Birmingham and two dates in Scotland.
Meanwhile I'm gratefully thrilled, so far, with responses to my new book (different publisher: Bloomsbury, and only published in the UK so far), Hand Me My Travelin' Shoes: In Search of Blind Willie McTell, which gets a 5-star review in the current Uncut and was named "Non-Fiction of the Week" in Metro on Tuesday... while on Amazon.co.uk, it shot into the top 200 sales rankings that day, and even into their Top 10 Movers & Shakers. This also seems to me a good-looking book, and, at least on Amazon, it too is a remarkable price for a 448-page hardback.
