The many mysteries of Bob Dylan explained through his birth chart. Saxby's booklet is published by 'Desolation Row...' as a companion to the previous item, though spanning as it does 64 pages, 'Astrology And Numerology is double the size of its predecessor. As with 'Bob Dylan And The Cards' the format is A5. This time though, printed on plain white paper with a blue card cover.

The author of this booklet is both a Dylan fan and a professional astrological / numerological consultant. The extensive text is accompanied by various diagrams and there is a detailed 'natal' chart. The booklet explains how to calculate the correlation's between letters and numbers, detailing the workings of a numerology chart in such a way that the reader is able to work out their own configurations. 'Bob Dylan: Astrology And Numerology' is available from: Desolation Row Promotions Ltd, 57 Tempsford, Welwyn Garden City, Herts., AL7 2PA. Priced £4.50, plus 50p post & package UK (£1.00 Europe). $10.00 cash inc. Postage for USA.

A couple of points regarding the presentation of these two publications. The general presentation just about hits the mark, i.e. good quality production whilst still maintaining the feel of being an 'amateur' publication.

I would have liked to have been greeted by an introduction to the authors. Both of these names are new to me as commentators on Bob Dylan, and it would have been nice to have been provided with a little background information regarding these authors.

I felt that the slightly smaller text and line spacing employed in the earlier booklet was more pleasing to the eye. The larger text and constant use of bold capitals to emphasise words in the 'Astrology And Numerology' booklet gives a slightly clumsy appearance to the page. This booklet would also have benefited greatly by being trimmed.
