Being a Dylan fan(atic) for over 40 years, at first I was disapponted to read this story (though I never for one moment believed that any of his other songs had been "lifted", tho recognising that some from the early folk era were influenced by trad stuff). Now tho I'm more inclined to agree with Fred Miller's comment above: the songs are separate from the book. He should tho probably have included a sleeve note to the effect that "many of the songs on this album were inspired from Junichi Saga's book".
