Bob Dylan has signed a six-book deal with book publishers Simon & Schuster.

The six books will include two sequels to Dylan's 2004 book 'Chronicles: Volume One' as well as other books based on dialogue from his Sirius/XM radio show, Crain's New York Business reports.

Speaking about his last book 'Chronicles: Volume One' Dylan told Rolling Stone: "The reviews of this book, some of 'em almost made me cry - in a good way."

The singer has supposedly been offered an eight-figure deal for the books.

Meanwhile, Jack White enlisted the help of Bob Dylan on his latest project.
