The publisher said Friday it will release “The Lennon Letters,” containing a selection of the writing the musician sent “to his friends, family, strangers, newspapers, organizations, lawyers and the laundry,” in October 2012.
...In a news release, Little, Brown said “The Lennon Letters” will present the correspondence “in chronological order, so that a narrative builds up, reflecting John’s life,” adding that “many of the letters are reproduced as they were, in his handwriting or typing, plus the odd cartoon or doodle.” The publisher said Mr. Davies had tracked down about 200 letters and postcards, and anyone who has Lennon letters to share for the book may contact him at johnlennonletters@hotmail.co.uk.

Hunter Davies is not a photographer...but he is the author of the group biography The Beatles which was published in 1968. (He's also a tremendously good writer in general and I've been a fan of his for many years, so I'm looking forward to this.)
ReplyDeletejust a goof on my part. I'm very familiar with Davies, having read his authorized Beatles bio many, many years ago. It's a must-read, though it was heavily censored by the Fabs themselves. Thanks for pointing out my dumb error -- but it was really a case of fingers moving faster than brain.
