Description

In His Own Write, John Lennon’s nonsensical book of poetry, stories, and illustrations, signed by Lennon and his first wife

Signed book: In His Own Write. Later printing. London: Jonathan Cape, April 1964. Hardcover, 5.25 x 7, 76 pages. Prominently signed on the first free end page in blue ballpoint, “John Lennon,” and in red ballpoint by his first wife, “Cynthia Lennon.” In fine condition, with light wear to the spine edges. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. First published in London in 1964, Lennon's first literary effort is a thin volume comprised of nonsensical, disjointed short stories and line drawings. The first solo effort of any of the Beatles, In His Own Write remains a great showcase of Lennon's creative talent.
