Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Music historian and journalist Tim Riley's biography challenges many popular assumptions about Lennon's life, from his widely misunderstood 'Working Class Hero' origins to his epic romance with Yoko Ono. Riley also explores Lennon in all his contradictions: the misogynist turned peace activist, the moralist who loved to outrage and the 'bigger than Christ' LSD enthusiast who settled down to become a house-husband. A pre-eminent scholar of Beatles music, Riley has consulted some of the most important Beatles scholarship of the past two decades. In a field littered with untrustworthy memoirs, he has culled the most reliable information from hundreds of books, and tracked down even more insightful sources among Lennon's friends, enemies, confidantes, celebrity associates and business contacts. He also writes brilliantly about the music and about Lennon's artistic and creative processes. The Beatles have just enjoyed their most successful sales decade ever, and this book will be a great gift for the Beatles fan in your life or for anyone with an interest in this British music legend.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First impression in almost as new condition with no inscriptions. Hardly, if at all, read. Pages are bright throughout the book. Dust jacket is not price clipped and just has the odd bit of light scuffing and a tiny dent, which are only noticeable on much closer inspection. Very presentable copy indeed.
