John Lennon in His Own Write & a Spaniard in the Works Paperback – January 1, 1965

it took me back to when i was in my mid-teens and had a copy. Mr. Lennon never claimed to be James Joyce, he just put his soul out there. as, of course, he did in his songs. the "Chief Beatle" RIP.

Perfect condition. Just like new. I really don't want to read it. I bought this book when I was a kid and lost it somehow, but it brings back so many memories. And only .95 cents on the cover. What a deal.

This book is interesting

the service was great, but the book itself was disappointing. John's fault, not yours.

Cool item to have as a John Lennon fan. The cover is goofy, I like it. His poems and sketches are goofy too.

Lennons two books, first published in the mid 1960's, at the time of the Beatles hayday should be read as part of the whole Beatlemania phenomena. Lennon was trapped in the Beatles, a world he both loved and hated, and one of the ways to express his artistic flair outside of the music was to write books. His books were sharply satirical and humorous, exhibiting an understanding of the world as Lennon saw it. Lennon's writings were primarily influenced by Peter Sellers and the Goons (predecessors of Monty Python), and the stories are sadly hysterical, carrying the same rapier wit and deep universal insight that Lennon expressed a few years later on the lyrics of Sgt. Pepper and the White Album. These 2 volumes really give an insight into the mind of Lennon, the callous and cynical but deeply philosopical and genious-inspired works of a major, influential artist of the 1960's. Lennon wrote and played music in the top supergroup of the 1960's, appeared in films, created obscure artwork, made political and religious statements and wrote classic books. These are those books. Read and reflect on the genius of John Lennon.

A great book which I had as a young man and sadly lost…
