A lovely resource, Andy.
Fortunately, I picked up many copies of that book from various Seattle remainder tables during the Nineties, so at least a few households known to me have a copy on hand, if not necessarily right out on the coffee table!
And I wonder whether the images from Nik Cohn & Guy Peellaeart’s subsequent, equally splendid 20th Century Dreams are similarly archived on Flickr? It too is a mind-boggler, so that’d be wonderful!

Never knew about 20th Century Dreams!
I have a t-shirt that I got in high school of this wonderful image:

There were several other t-shirts of his stuff (found at Yard Birds Shopping Center!) but I only had money for one. I suspect they were unauthorized.

20th Century Dreams certainly came as a fabulous surprise to me at the time, a little over a decade ago! And there are entirely different covers for the US/UK editions.
In particular, it boasts an image of Prince with Lady Diana that intermingles their respective mythologies quite explicitly!
By the by, I would love to have a shirt with Guy Peellaert’s terrifying Dylan image on it. Practically the Last Word in Rock Star Glamour & Mystique, never to be approached again, or so it would seem!
