I had optimistically assumed (yeah, I know!) that the cover blurb was referring to the jazz technique of "chord/melody" where the melody is defined thru a series of harmonized multi-string "chords", in which case the whole book would be "only" chords, although probably a bit removed from the familiar I, IV, V, etc.
David, can you comment on how the non-Dylan songs are presented? If it's just the melody in notation or tab with the backing chords shown in mandolin grids, then 98% of us could get by on the guitar books that we already have.

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
