  2. No small amount of moons ago I was browsing a friend of a friends bookshelf. After mentioning a keen interest in anything 'Bob Dylan' the friend of etc showed a volume of Bob Dylan lyrics their father had found during a house clearance following an eviction. There was no bookmark contained within but a message written inside the front cover which read ;'Well done **** you really ****** your daughters head up this time'. On the strength of that I offered to buy the book from them even offering to purchase a brand new copy in exchange for theirs.They declined and I forgot the matter until discovering your blog this afternoon. Now after reading through your blog I find myself wishing I had upped the offer somewhat. Fascinating blog!
    I will follow!
