The book marked a pivotal point for the Beatles, as "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). Limited to 2,000 copies signed by Harrison to the colophon, this being number 840. Housed in the original slipcase and white paper dust wrapper with the publisher's letter to the subscriber laid in. Surrey, Guildford: Genesis Publications Ltd., 1980.
