The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics 2

Vol 2 of this highly collectible collection of lyrics to some of the Beatles' best songs, selected & illustrated with fantastic psychedelic drawings by the young British designer who was a friend of the group, Alan Aldridge, complemented by other full-color images contributed by a wide-range of artists, including Peter Max, David Hockney, Erte, Ronald Searle, & more (listed on back DJ). Drawings & lyrics are interspersed with some autobiographical comments obtained from the Beatles themselves, in which they offer insider interpretations of what they were thinking when they wrote the songs. 125 pages, with psychedelic images of the Fab 4 in full color by Peter Max gracing the endpapers. Orig. published in London, this is the FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, First Printing from 1971. Hardcover book has glossy peach paper covered boards with a crying flower in center of front cover.
