Following the best selling THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY comes the ultimate John Lennon book. A rich tapestry of his life and the music that made him famous, this innovative, interactive book features removable facsimilies of hand-written lyrics, drawings and unseen photographs, documents and letters as well as a CD containing more than ninety minutes of interviews recorded with Lennon before his death. Written by James Henke of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, it is the first complete picture of John Lennon, from his early days at art school to the height of Beatlemania to IMAGINE, to be authorised by his widow, Yoko Ono Lennon. John Lennon's importance as a musucian and an icon have grown since his death. No fan will be able to do without this extraordinary book.

Recensione:
'Lennon Legend is the bible for all Lennon fans, and once I'd discovered why he fell for Yoko ("I am a cloud. Watch for me in the sky" she told him in a letter) I knew this was the book to get to the heart of the man. It is stuffed with memorabilia galore - letters, drawings, songs and a CD interview with John. Incredible, and should be purchased with 'so this is Christmas' tinkling through the mind.' (JACK magazine (Nov '03) illustrated review )

'There are some dry books about Lennon, cataloguing every fart and tantrum from the sadly assassinated, troubled genius... This volume is more interesting: as well as a light commentary on his life and projects there's a whole load of pull-out material: copies of school reports, joke newspapers, lyric sheets, peace-campaigning literature, cartoons, and Beatle memorabilia. It's all been reproduced faithfully and placed in little pockets. A masterstroke of gimmickry.' (FRONT MAGAZINE (Dec '03) 5 'thumbs-up' review )

'An opulent production including a bonus CD, this book is amazing value for diehard fans.' (THE INDEPENDENT 5/12/03 )

'... a treat for the truly obsessive fan. Laid out like a scrapbook, each page includes wallets and envelopes housing facsimiles of memorabilia... all so faithfully reproduced as to give the collector of Lennon trivia the sensation of being sole curator. Crucially, this is the first life to be approved and authorised by Yoko; the author is a former Rolling Stone journalist and friend of Lennon's and his text ... recounts the history simply and cleanly.' (THE OBSERVER 7/12/03 )

'The text provides a comprehensive picture of Lennon, from art school to Dakota building, by James Henke from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Rolling Stone. What really sets this apart though, is a plethora of individually reproduced memorabilia, from the 1957 St Peter's Garden Fete programme, featureing the Quarry Men, where John first met Paul, to handwritten lyrics of 'Day Tripper' and 'Imagine'. **** (OMM (Observer Music Monthly) December 2003 )

'Ever wondered what John Lennon's school report looked like? Or the piece of paper on which he composed the lyrics to 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'? Now you can find out, thanks to LENNON LEGEND. This extraordinary exercise in beatification contains a short account of his life, a CD featuring interviews with him and, neatly tucked away between the symbolic 64 pages, ersaz memorabilia you can pull out and pretend is real.' (Ludovic Hunter-Tilney FINANCIAL TIMES )

'LENNON LEGEND is a unique biography of the Beatles star, which features pull-out facsimiles of posters, tickets, lyric sheets, scribbles, contracts - even a business card for the The Quarry Men.' (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY )
