(Box of Vision/Beatles.com)
Box of Vision is planning to publish a book containing the complete artwork from Bob Dylan's albums. The company has already published an elaborate and critically acclaimed web, and is concurrently working on book on John Lennon's catalog . The idea of these books is to have the opportunity to appreciate the aesthetic quality of album-sized artwork in the age of compact discs (and beyond).
According to a blog entry on the Box of Vision website, the Dylan book will not be called "Box of Vision", but will have a special title. Also, It will not include The Bootleg Series, which is expected to be published separately. It will be about 230 pages.
The blog also states:
Just like with Lennon, all of the different books will have unique cover elements too. With Lennon, we went for different textures on the very stark white looking covers. For Dylan a couple of really great photos and photo treatments. Pictures coming very soon.
To give you some idea what's involved with the series, here are some videos for the Box of Vision Beatles book, which took almost a decade to become a reality (above and below):

Dylan did some of the best album covers ever. His three mid sixties electric album covers are some of the most iconic ever. They deserve to be called art. Even Self Potrait, Planet Waves, Slow Train, Saved all conjure up different emotions. His early topical albums are stunning as well. Love and Theft is a great shot of him, especially the back cover, same goes for Modern Times. Beatles were not as photogenic, though the White album works for me.
bob please make a box of water color cards, so your poor fans can buy some...xoxojo
