Johnny Depp is bringing a dash of cool to the book world.
Depp will help run a publishing imprint with the same name as his production company, Infinitum Nihil, meaning "Nothing is forever." Already on the list of books is The Unrav-eled Tales of Bob Dylan, which aims to set the record straight on the songwriter's enigmatic life and career and will be based in part on interviews with Dylan by bestselling historian Douglas Brinkley.
The imprint will be part of HarperCollins Publishers, which announced that Depp will seek "authentic, outspoken and visionary ideas and voices."
The Dylan book is scheduled for 2015. Dylan and Brinkley also will collaborate on the editing and publication of a previously announced novel by one of Dylan's heroes, folk musician Woody Guthrie, who died in 1967. The novel, House of Earth, was completed by Guthrie in 1947 but was only recently discovered. It's scheduled for January.
