"The law is wrong; I am right"
According to Amazon, 15 of the 47 songs have'nt been released before now (I pre-ordered my copy, so Amazon had included Dylan's Brandeis Concert for free as a pre-order bonus). From Amazon:
Among the many gems found on The Witmark Demos are 15 Bob Dylan songs that were recorded by the artist only for these sessions, and which have never been officially released to the public until now. These include the plaintive"Ballad For A Friend," the civil rights era-inspired "Long Ago, Far Away" and "The Death Of Emmett Till," and the poignant "Guess I'm Doing Fine."
The Witmark Demos also features a deluxe booklet featuring in-depth liner notes by noted music historian Colin Escott, as well as rare photographs of Bob Dylan captured during the same period as these early recordings.

I am now tempted to spend the $
Good buy on the Dostoevsky book, Swan. Hope you don't stop at Notes.. but read the rest. The Double is a case study of paranoid schizophrenia before the term was ever coined. The Gambler posits that sheer willpower can overcome the odds - mind over matter at the roulette wheel.
Similar in theme to what Bukfan just read I just finished this:
Not a bad read at all.

Right, so was I. 15 songs, which have never been released before, plus the versions of the rest of the 47 songs have never been released before either.
So, if you like early Dylan you won't be disappointed. Maybe you should have a look at the reviews on Amazon. Most of them are very positive.
Btw, The Brandeis Concert (1963) which you got for free if you pre-ordered, is still available as long as the stock lasts! Just click on the link in the box which says, "Limited Quantity of Bonus CD Available".
$13.99 for three CD's is not a bad deal at all, and the 2-CD set has a running time over 150 min., and the Brandeis Concert has a running time of 38 min.
It's a pretty good concert which has'nt been released before either. All the Amazon reviewers praise it, even those who have issues with the way the 2-CD set was remastered (technical nitpicking).

Stav, Dos is a great read, I find myself sweating with him and laughing at the same time.
Bukfan, I did it, with the bonus...

Well in order to get ready for the new NBA season, I just read through Phil Jackson's The Last Season (A Team In Search Of It's Soul) for about the 5th time. It was just as good as the 1st time I read it! It chronicles Shaq's last season with the team(2003-2004), and how uncoachable Kobe Bryant was at the time. It was also Phil's last season with the team till he returned in 2007. Phil's written 4 books, I think this is his best. It's written in a diary/journal format and it's a must read for any NBA fan!

I stumbled over "Dry Guillotine" at Archives.org. You can either read the book online or download it as a PDF file.
Here's the link:

I'm back on my Dostoevsky binge, goodbye winter months.
...Dunces is a humdinger, for sure.
Yes. Yes!
Been buying some CDs lately. Got the latest by Trombone Shorty. Got wowed by Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, so I bought the soundtrack to "Lift to the Gallows" on a recommendation from a B&N employee. Also got Blue Train by Coltrane. I've been on a big jazz kick and I'm loving it. Also got the soundtrack to Crazy Heart and a greatest hits by Warren Zevon.
Canned by Franklin Schneider. Writes about working ten jobs in ten years in a raw gritty and funny way. Check it out.

The Farewell Waltz. and yes, very good novel. but I haven't read a Kundera I haven't liked.
I've never read "Killger Angel", but I saw "Gettysburg" who was the adaptation. Good movie with great actors (Sheen, Berenger, Daniels). But I find the representation of the war "too clean" in this movie.
I saw "Gods & Generals" too. Maxwell has never had the money to finish the adaptation of the Shaara's trilogy. The adaptation of "The Last Full Measure" was failed.
About books, I've just finished "1933 was a bad year" by Fante.

I shall certainly keep my eyes peeled for it. I like Duke and other Big Band stuff.
