JL2. A Rare Signed First Edition Of “In His Own Write” Autographed Beautifully By John Lennon On The Fly Leaf.

Description

On March 23, 1964, the first solo project by any of The Beatles in any medium was released: “In His Own Write” – a book written by John Lennon that contained nonsensical short stories and poems using offbeat language, puns and play-on-words that are witty, funny and surreal in nature, which were accompanied by line drawings done by John illustrating the many caricatures found in the text. Published by Jonathan Cape in Great Britain barely a month and a half after The Beatles made their historic first visit to the U.S., “In His Own Write” was well received and sold briskly and by April 23rd, the day that John was honored at the Foyle’s Literary Luncheon in London, it was already in its 3rd printing.

Here is a First Edition copy of “In His Own Write” that has been signed magnificently by John Lennon on the fly leaf in black fountain pen. The signature is large, bold, beautifully scripted and near perfect in every respect, and it dates from precisely the time of the release of “In His Own Write”. The condition of the book is excellent, with a vertical crease visible on the front cover. First Editions of “In His Own Write” signed by John are exceedingly rare, with most being 3rd printings that were autographed by him at the aforementioned Foyle’s event. All things considered, this is one of the best John Lennon signed “In His Own Write” books in existence…..SOLD
