Last updated 4th Feb 2025
A signed copy of John Lennon's "In His Own Write" is on auction in Gloucestershire today (4th February).
Sold via The Cotswolds Auction Company, they estimate it'll fetch between £2000 to £2500!
The book was first printed in March 1964 and contains a signature from John (blue) and his wife of the time Cynthia (red) which you can see in the image below.
The book was given to the seller's son in 2010 for his 21st birthday, having been bought from a bookshop in Bloomsbury, London.
The only issues with its condition are: general wear to the spine and the edges of the cover, and some thumbprint-sized or smaller brown marks on some of the pages.
It also comes with a copy of "A Spaniard in the Works" (1965).
You can see details of the auction, which goes live at 10am, here.
It comes after Sir Ringo Starr sent a message of "peace and love" to fans following The Beatles' Grammy win.
The band won the award for best rock performance for the song Now And Then, which was finished by Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo decades after it was recorded.
In a post to X, formerly Twitter, 84-year-old Sir Ringo said: "Wow, another Grammy. Well done everybody. I send you peace and love. That's right the beat goes on. Thanks, peace and love Ringo."
John Lennon's son Sean picked up the gong on behalf of the group and said: "The world can't afford to forget about people like The Beatles, we need this music in the world, we need peace and love and we need the magic of the 60s to stay alive."
The remastered track was sourced from a Lennon demo recorded in the late 1970s at his home in New York's Dakota Building.
After his death in 1980 aged 40, Lennon's wife Yoko Ono gave the recording to the remaining Beatles in 1994 along with Free As A Bird and Real Love, which were released by the band in the same decade.
