A must have travel and music guide to Bob Dylan's favourite New York city haunts. Bob Dylan in the Big Applewill take you on a journey that Dylan took through the streets of New York in the early 1960s, looking at the locations, including the less trodden Dylan trails, the characters he befriended as well as revealing stories that formed the backdrop to his life and work.

Reviews
‘There is something magical about walking in the footsteps of our musical heroes. Whether it’s the Beatles in Liverpool, Leonard Cohen in Hydra or Bob Dylan in New York City, these pilgrimages can be vastly more rewarding than any planned vacation. Refreshingly non-academic, this book begins and ends at the Beacon Theatre, where Dylanophiles from around the world converge for a glimpse of the enigma that is Bob Dylan. This is your travel guide through time and space to the favorite haunts of the most celebrated folkie on planet earth.’ Kevin Odegard, musician, ‘Blood on The Tracks’
'Meticulously researched and packed with delicious detail....' Conor McPherson 'An essential purchase for anyone who loves Dylan..' ***** Record Collector
