Visually the exterior appearance is more than acceptable,and even internally,the book is in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation. It is only the exterior faults that prevents a slightly higher grading, particularly for the dw/dj. Despite that,it really is still an acceptable copy for its cleanliness and brightness. In the summer of 1980,ten years after the break-up of the Beatles,John Lennon signed with a new label,ready to record new music for the first time in years.Everyone was awestruck when lennon dashed off '(Just Like) Starting Over'. Lennon was back in peak form,with his best songwriting since 'Imagine'. In the years after Lennon left the Beatles, becoming a solo artist and making a life with Yoko Ono in New York City,Mark David Chapman had become fixated on murdering his former hero.He was convinced that Lennon had squandered his talent and betrayed his fans.In December 1980, Chapman boarded a flight from Hawaii to new York with a handgun stowed in his luggage.He was never going home again. Enriched by exclusive interviews with lennon's friends and associates,including Paul McCartney,'The Last Days of John Lennon' is a true-crime drama about two men who changed history.One whose indelible songs enliven our world to this day,and the other who ended music with five pulls of a trigger.
