Books

First edition, first impression, signed by the author on the front free endpaper, and scarce thus, of this collection of humorous and nonsensical stories, poems, and drawings. Of particular interest is the poem "Our Dad" (pp. 83-5), which provides a poignant insight into Lennon's relationship with his father, who left the family when Lennon was a boy only to reappear years later following the Beatles' rise to fame. Octavo. Original pictorial boards lettered in white and black. No dust jacket issued. Profuse illustrations by the author, text and illustrations printed in brown, grey, and green. Laminate at joints lifting slightly, as often, couple of spots to edges and rear pastedown, else a fine, fresh copy.

A playful and surreal collection of stories and drawings by John Lennon, following the success of his first book.
