Handwritten Dylan Lyrics To Go Under The Hammer
Hand written lyrics for The Times They Are A Changin expected to sell for big money later this week
A set of handwritten lyrics for the Bob Dylan classic ‘The Times They Are A Changin’ are to be auctioned later this week and are expected to sell for around $250,000.
Billboard reports that the "dog-eared, smudged and discolored 8-1/2 by 11 inch sheaf of lyrics, topped with an underscored "by Bob Dylan,"” are set to be sold on December 10 with an estimate of $200,000 to $300,000.
The hand-written lyrics once belonged to Dylan's friend Kevin Krown, who Sotheby's said introduced Dylan to the Greenwich Village music scene.
But Dylan was slack about keeping his manuscripts, and it was thanks to Krown and Dylan's friends Eve and Peter MacKenzie that such pieces survive, according to the auction house.

Other items in the auction include a signed Charles Dickens book, a 1632 Shakespeare collection and a personally inscribed copy of Notes On The State Of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson.
