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 in 1971, this is the FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, First Printing from 1971. Hardcover book has peach paper-covered boards with a crying flower in center of front cover. Though the interior is very clean & the binding tight & square, the book is downgraded to Good+ due to these flaws: rubbing to extremities, heaviest along bottom edges from shelf, 2) very faint dampstain along same edge, barely noticeable on both front & back boards & nearly undetectable on pages. Pages moderately tanned, heavier around all edges. Old gift inscription on half title page, else unmarked. The unclipped DJ is also Good+, marred by faint dampstaining, darkening, chipping to both edges of spine with a larger chip to top inner corner of back cover at spine. Looks lovely in new mylar cover. We are also offering another copy of this book in worse (Fair) condition with no DJ, for much cheaper (see listing #017574). Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have. Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
