Peter’s book The Joker And The Thief is now available from Amazon for Kindle and other devices
The hardback version by ‘red planet books’ is not affiliated with this release:
When RDP published Peter’s book I asked for a personal copy, as Peter’s archivist and the person who had created and edited the manuscript as well as writing the foreword. I never received a personal copy. I had to purchase my own. Also, friends of Peter’s keen to write about the book in various print magazines requested copies, they never received them. I have had emails from a number of other people who never received a book from that hardback version. I have no evidence of what rdp have done with the money made in profit from their sales of the books and I do not endorse their published version. My advice is to purchase the Kindle and Paperback versions.
Happy Friday everyone,
Thank you for your continued support of Peter’s words and his music. It’s a pleasure making things available in this space and over the coming years there will be more and more Dylan and non-Dylan content appearing here.
Peter’s book The Joker And The Thief is now available in eBook form for anyone who would like to add it to their Kindle collection or read it on their own devices. It includes many pieces that aren’t yet up on this SubStack.

Over the years he has contributed writings to bobdylan.com, American Songwriter, CounterPunch, No Depression and many other publications.He had a love for Bob Dylan that would find him attending nearly 200 concerts spanning 1963 to 2018. In 2008 Peter was commissioned to write liner notes for Bob Dylan’s Tell Tale Signs, he spent about a week listening to tracks sent by Dylan’s office, suggesting songs and writing as he listened. In the end his notes didn’t make the final release but were used on Bobdylan.com
