A remarkable first edition of In His Own Write (1964), signed by none other than John Lennon himself. This copy remains in very good+ condition, with only minor wear to the original boards and spine. Internally, it is fresh and clean, with just the occasional light spotting on one or two pages.
This ground-breaking work, released at the height of Beatlemania, marks the first solo publication by a member of The Beatles. A collection of surreal short stories and whimsical line drawings, In His Own Write showcases Lennon’s distinctive wit, playful language, and sharp humour. The book is an early indication of the lyrical inventiveness that would define much of his later music.
Lennon’s artistic range is on full display, offering a rare glimpse into his creative mind, well before his legendary song writing would go on to shape the cultural landscape. A sequel, A Spaniard in the Works, followed in 1965, further cementing Lennon’s multifaceted artistic legacy.
This first edition, signed by Lennon, is a superbly preserved example - a true collector's piece, made all the more special by the presence of his autograph.
