Format:Paperback
This work is truely a gem from John Lennon. This books contains everything that you want to have from John himself. In this book he offers the cynical satire of everyone and everything that are related to him. He attacks other Beatles, FBI, Richard Nixon, and everything that he can get a hand on..

"this is my story both humble and true

There's so much more, if you love Lennon, you'll love this book.
