After more than ten years in print since its first publication – in the UK, two weeks before the end of the 20th Century – Song & Dance Man III has now gone out of print. The seventh and final reprint came out in 2008 and is now out of stock.
I’m sorry to see it go, of course, though it’s done well to stay around that long – and when I give talks I’m often asked for it by people who, coming to Dylan in recent years, already own The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia but have never caught up with Song & Dance Man III.
I have just one spare paperback copy of the original UK printing from 1999 – the only one published under the old Cassell Academic imprint; all the subsequent printings, including the original US paperback of March-April 2000, are from the Continuum imprint. I’m going to put this copy up for auction on eBay this weekend, if anyone’s interested. It’s in excellent condition (and hasn’t, as in the copy photographed above, got the bend, top right, on the front cover).
