Cherished by fans and collectors, I Me Mine is the closest we will come to George Harrison's autobiography. It is "a sly paradox of a title," to quote Derek Taylor, The Beatles's spokesperson, "chosen by a man concerned for many years and for many reasons to send his ego packing ... a book which tells a story of growing up, not necessarily the hard way, but certainly not the easy way." Featuring George in conversation with Derek Taylor, it touches on everything from growing up in Liverpool and early Beatlemania to his love of India, gardening, and race cars. Originally published in 1980 and now including a new introduction by Olivia Harrison, I Me Mine is also a compendium of the lyrics to over 80 of George's songs, many in his own hand, all accompanied by his uniquely intimate and humorous commentary. Fifty archival photographs of George-several new images are contained in this edition-capture a journey of creative and spiritual transformation. Brimming with the wit, warmth, and grace that characterized his lyrics and his life, I, Me, Mine is a treasured portrait of George Harrison and his music.
