    How much do you really know about the man from Minnesota? You can find out by exploring the 1,000 questions set out in 100 categories that make up the Bob Dylan Quiz Book.
    Bob Dylan's work is chock-full of references. It's one of the things that puts him in front of the rest, where he's always been. All the usual suspects are inside, but how many books on Dylan include references to War and Peace, Maigret, Proust, Moby-Dick, Boardwalk Empire, Kafka, Charlie Chaplin, Paradise Lost, Trotsky and Regent's Park Zoo? This one does!
    Try these for size:
    1. The first four words of Bob's response to the 'Judas' heckler in 1966 also formed the title of one of his songs. Which one was it, and from which album did it come?
    2. Not counting words that form parts of larger words, can you name the four Beatles singles that can be found in the lyrics of Dylan's Tangled Up in Blue?
    3. On Maggie's Farm, the eponymous Maggie's Ma is less than straight about
    her age. How old does she claim to be and how old is she in reality?
    4. Which innovative guitarist who died in 2024 produced in 1965 a very rare beast, namely an album of Dylan's songs minus the words?
