Beatles: John Lennon Signed Book - In His Own Write

Description

Beautifully signed and uninscribed first edition of In His Own Write, John Lennon’s nonsensical book of poetry, stories, and illustrations

Signed book: In His Own Write. First edition. London: Jonathan Cape, 1964. Hardcover, 5.5 x 7, 78 pages. Signed beautifully on the first free end page in black ink by John Lennon. In fine condition. 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, with this particular uninscribed example in unusually nice condition.
