I have been looking for a 1 st printing of Bob Dylan's "Tarantula",and I finally found a nice Hardback copy. I bought the British 1 edition, and it was in excellent condition. This is not a book you read from page 1 to last! There are some great poems in this book, like street prose, and some weird "tales, wich made me laugh out loud. I am extremely happy with my book, and would recommend it to anyone who collect book, or are looking for a unique book for your library of curiosities. But i would not want to buy a new paperback reprint, but would try to find a nice 1 st edition, or at least a nice Hardback.
