It's all there. Huge book. Well worth the money.
Big book, loaded with his life's efforts. Some songs I was unfamiliar with, but glad to have. Tab and staff music are both represented, making it a multi instrument book. Kudoos!

great book
great book. pretty good collection of Dylans music. shows basic chord progression for most of the songs. one might want to experiment with different strum styles as to what works best with what song. I think Bob Dylan used a lot of strum styles, too. he did have some favored styles, I think.

This is the Dylan book!
This book is awesome. If you're a guitarist, and wish to learn how to play his songs as they are heard on the studio lps, this is the book you need. I've purchased many Dylan guitar books over the years, but most of them never broke down the songs like this book does. Capo placement, tunings, and so much more. This Book is fantastic 👍

All the songs, each on one page, with tunings, chord charts, and rhythmic outline
The songs are not complete transcriptions. This is fine with me because I want to learn the song so I can interpret it my way, not to copy the exact fingering of each measure as recorded to master tape. Songs are in order of publication. Each single-page song has full lyrics with chord letters, charts of the chords, tablature for the rhythmic structure, tuning, and capo placement. This is not what a Dylan impersonator would want. It's closer to the Fake Book style of songbook. But that's what I want. Maybe it's what you want too. In any case it's great!

Complete? Hmm
First, this is an awesome book.Besides a ton of Dylan songs it has a lengthy introduction section with explanations about Dylan's playing style, the way he uses/changes chords, different voicings he uses often, strumming patterns, etc.Very useful stuff.It also includes many, for me, obscure songs, and I have been following and playing his music for a long time.What is a little less satisfying for me is the choice of print.The lyrics are printed is a fairly light grey, with the chords above them in black.I understand the reason to use different fonts for the text and the chords, but it does make the lyrics pretty difficult to read, especially for older eyes like mine.Plus the font is small as well.Again, I understand the choice. Dylan has many very long songs with a LOT of lyrics, so to get them on either one page, or 2 pages next to each other the font cannot be that big.But still, it is something to be aware of.As far as my headline goes:It seems silly to call a book like this "complete".Luckily the man is still alive and produces more music, so it obviously is not "complete".And even if someone dies or a band breaks up, many years later newly found material is being released (think Hendrix or the Beatles).But so apart from these minor points this book is a must-have for people who play music and want to do Dylan songs.

yeah! Heavy and a bottle of bread!
I love love love this book. I have had a few other Dylan chord books over the years, and this one is the best by far. I have had a few other Dylan chord books with maybe 20-30 songs in each one. this is the Bible. This thing has close to 500 songs Bob wrote, in order, by album from 1962 to 2009. It is truly just awe inspiring to flip through this thing. I am so glad I got this and would really recommend to everyone. every household should have this book!Now that being said, this is a very heavy book, so not something I would bring camping, or really walking around with for that matter.If you enjoy albums like: the basement tapes, planet waves, desire, traveling wilburys, time out of mind, etc you probably are a Dylan head and you should have this book;)

This is great!
I have notebooks that I write songs with their chords just like this but Bob has so many amazing songs no way I could write them all down so this is amazing!

Not a hard cover
This is a beautiful book. Everything you always needed to know. It is NOT a hard cover. Very heavy book. Needs a hard cover! I almost sent it back but I decided it was worth keeping.
