LENNON, John (1940-1980). A Spaniard in the Works. London: Jonathan Cape, 1965.

First edition, presentation copy inscribed by the author: ‘For Noel Coward / John Lennon’. Coward met Lennon and McCartney at a party in 1964 and found them ‘pleasant’ and ‘well-behaved’ but ‘totally devoid of talent’ (Hoare, p.492). The following year, he saw The Beatles play live in Rome and remained unconvinced, despite the relentless wave of Beatlemania: ‘To realize that the majority of the modern adolescent world goes ritualistically mad over those four innocuous, rather silly-looking young men is a disturbing thought. Perhaps we are whirling more swiftly into extinction than we know’ (Diaries, p.603).

Octavo (176 x 135mm). Illustrations in black and green, some text in green. Original pictorial laminated boards, upper cover and spine lettered in white on pink ground (minor bump at one corner of upper cover). Provenance: Noël Coward (1899-1973; author’s presentation inscription, bookplate).
注意事项
No VAT on hammer price or buyer's premium.
