1964 John Lennon In His Own Write First Edition Sixth Printing Hardcover Book

$175.00

This is a highly collectible early printing of John Lennon's first book, In His Own Write, originally published at the height of Beatlemania in 1964. This copy is a first edition, sixth printing (September 1964), published by Jonathan Cape, London, and retains the original printed price of 9s. 6d. net on the inside front cover.

Part surreal humour, part literary nonsense, and part illustrated sketchbook, In His Own Write offers a fascinating glimpse into Lennon's wit and imagination beyond his role as a member of the Beatles. The book contains whimsical stories, poems, inventive wordplay, and distinctive line drawings, accompanied by a foreword written by Paul McCartney.

This compact hardcover volume measures approximately 5 1/2 inches by 7 inches and contains 78 pages plus covers. A wonderful piece of Beatles history from the group's breakthrough year and an increasingly sought-after addition to any collection of music memorabilia, first edition books, or John Lennon ephemera.
