Guildford: Genesis Publications Limited,, 1980. Signed by George Harrison First edition, first impression, unnumbered from an edition of 2,000 copies signed by the author. This is possibly one of a handful bound in full leather, one of which was given to Harrison and another kept by the publisher. The publication of I Me Mine was a watershed moment in the history of the Beatles. "Lennon took offence at being left out of the book altogether. Harrison made an unsuccessful attempt to contact him to discuss this grievance. That December, Lennon was shot dead. Now the Beatles really were history; there could be no reunion" (ODNB). Tall octavo. Original brown calf, raised bands, lettering to spine gilt, single gilt rules to covers, green morocco guitar onlay to front cover with gilt detail, facsimile signature to rear cover in gilt, sheet music endpapers, all edges gilt.
