Beatles Tune In Extended Edition by Lewisohn and 21 similar items

U.S. Sale Only! I am moving and have greatly reduced the original price to pay for moving expenses. CANNOT GO LOWER. For Sale is the ultimate in The Beatles historiography! Written by the acknowledged dean of Beatles studies, Mark Lewisohn, this magnum opus, two-volume hardcover book in its own slipcase is only Part 1 of an intended three-part history of the Beatles. This edition was imported from London as this set was not available in the U.S. at the time. The extended edition, still in its plastic wrap, is truly the alpha and omega of Beatles studies. As Mark Lewisohn himself put it: "I'm meant to be producing 250,000 words for each of the three volumes, but, as soon as I began writing the first, I knew it would probably sail by its limit. I decided to carry on writing what I felt the story could deliver and take it where I felt it needed to go ... and when finally I finished, three years later, I'd written 780,000. To their great credit, Little, Brown (my UK publisher: round of applause genuinely deserved) said they wanted to issue the whole thing, all 780,000 words, as a premium-edition item. However, I still had to create a mainstream book (which we've called the trade edition), because a 1700-page tome j-u-s-t might deter the casual buyer. I spent three further months picking apart the full version's intricately-woven tapestry, reducing the word-count and then stitching it back together to leave no holes. Everything necessary is still present but what?s gone is even more colour and layers of depth and perception. This is how we've ended up with two different products: the 960-page book (October 2013) and the 1728-page monster (November 2013). It's everything I wrote, and I'm very proud of it. More to the point, I'm happy with both books." In addition, the following books, still in their plastic wrap, are part of this package: "Paul McCartney The Lyrics." Paul's Two-Volume magnum opus in its own slipcase is as close to an autobiography as he is ever likely to write. Paul analyzes his songs through his career as a Beatle, his time in Wings and the years following, all the way through to the Pandemic Era. If you are a McCartney fan, you must have these volumes in your collection! "Imagine John Yoko." Written, compiled, and curated by Yoko, this magnificent companion piece to the film and the re-release of the album is the definitive story of the making of the Imagine album. Containing dozens of gorgeous archived photos never seen before. If you are a John aficionado, this book is a must-have. * Some of the blue coloring at the top and side of the pages has bleached out (as you will see in the photo.) It does not affect any of the photographs on the page itself! This item is posted and managed courtesy of Bonanza
