Dylan: Visions, Portraits, and Back Pages Reviews:
Dylan Bio 
2008-02-08 - A very interesting read. I never want to put it down. So many neat, intimate stories about Bob and his associates as he was gaining popularity. An interesting person.
GREAT PICTURES AND REVIEWS
2007-09-04 - I WISH the publishers of this book would start thinking of doing another book like this one!!!! This was a GOOD ONE!!!
I really think this book is worth more than what you spend on it. Great pictures that are VERY CLEAR AND SHARP and of EXCELLENT QUALITY and valuable information on his special albums (like Oh Mercy and Slow Train Coming), articles, reviews and so much more. All Bob's best pictures are not in this book, but it has many many VERY GOOD pictures. I especially enjoyed the picture of Bob with the Beatles in the Fab Five photo--Really. He is better looking than John and Paul--wow!!! I was in my early and mid teens when I heard all his commercial songs along with all the other groups that were playing non-stop on the radio--in the car, under the trees at the pool-in-the-park. I spent many summer days with friends, going to radio-sponsored rock festivals, TV rock shows, and I really liked his music very much, and we all knew who he was certainly, however the first 45 record I bought from Bob was Lay Lady Lay--lots of cool songs back then and too much to choose from. Unfortunately it was only fairly recently that I discovered that most of his best works are hidden in albums I had not purchased at the time--forgive me "since 1964 fans"--I was very young back then & too much going on--the 60's were superpacked years. This book has lots of everything--and some photos with his best-known girlfriends--one famous one less famous and one picture that really tugs at the heart--the one in which his girl fans in Ireland are right up close to their idol, Bob Dylan asking some questions.
Joan Baez looked gorgeous back then and Suzy looked great and very much in love. Despite the heartaches that came in each of these lives, these were priceless years and these priceless moments are all caught on camera preserved for us to see.
How can you possibly go wrong with purchasing this book if you are in any way interested in Bob Dylan? You CANNOT possibly go wrong.
Buy This!
2007-05-17 - It's been no secret to my friends,family and children that I have been a fan of Bob Dylan since 1966.I love just about everything Dylan has written and sung and respect the man as a genius.When I purchased Dylan Visions,Portraits,And Back Pages I flipped.The series of articles spanning his career from Hibbing to the present moment are filled with some new information and compiled in chronological order,but what blew me away are the photos.Many of which we have seen before but many others that are spectacular.For instance Dylan looking intently upon a portrait of St. Peter in Washington,DC.Super photos from the Rolling Thunder Review.I am going to buy another copy of this book so that I can frame some of the pictures.Enjoy this book!
Pretty good book with great pictures and original people. 
2007-04-14 - I love the fact that you can learn so much from this book. I am dissapointed though, in the fact it seems to be pieced together uncarefully. Great book. Worth the low Amazon price!
Not Needed If You Have Most Everything Dylan
2007-01-09 - Good for intro to Dylan or for the most basic Dylan fan - not for the hardcore. Beautiful pictures and some interesting articles but if you are a die-hard and have read/seen most everything published, nothing new here.
