Mondo Scripto deluxe book

jI just received my deluxe Mondo Scripto book with signed print and couldn’t be happier. It arrived from the UK in a gigantic box to reveal a substantial clamshell box of about 1.5 ft by 2 ft, weighing about 30 pounds. Inside is a separate clamshell for the book of all the Mondo Scripto lyrics and sketches and a separate holder for the signed print. They even threw in a pair of white cotton gloves!
I’ve always wanted an authentic Bob, and as much as I would have loved to get a favorite LP cover signed, this wasn’t “that” expensive and the provenance is 100% solid.

Congratulations!

I always recommend this book to anyone looking for an “entry level” signed Dylan item. It’s a lovely thing — as you say, huge — and with that all important provenance.

Thank you. I did also buy one of the framed signed prints of “Like a Rolling Stone,” but I’m going to save unwrapping that for a special occasion. I can only handle this much excitement today! Cheers!

It is exciting, isn’t it? You’ve just made a savvy investment, and, if you’re a longtime fan, it’s an emotional investment as much as anything.

I remember when I got my first Dylan: a signed print named Early Morning, Golden Gate Bridge. I couldn’t stop looking at it for weeks. I still stop and spend time enjoying it now.
