Revolution in the Air: The Songs of Bob Dylan, 1957-1973 | 
so-so
Painstaking, song-by-song trawl through Dylan's back pages, including every song recorded up to Planet Waves plus outtakes and fragments. Lots of detail about when and where each song was written, recording sessions, and the afterlife of the song in performance. Invaluable for filling in the gaps in one's knowledge but it makes for less than riveting reading over 400-plus pages. His bitchy asides at other Dylanologists are always fun, mind you.
