Random House to Publish ‘The Third Eye’ Book of Personal Photographs by George Harrison

Random House, an imprint of the Random House Publishing Group, will publish The Third Eye, a book of personal photographs by George Harrison.

Spanning the years 1963-1969, The Third Eye will feature more than 250 intimate color and black and white photographs — the majority of which are previously unpublished — of the Beatles at work and at play, from Liverpool to Shea Stadium to Adelaide to India, all taken by Harrison.

The book is being compiled and curated by Olivia Harrison, George’s widow. Included will be an essay by Olivia as well as George’s own words alongside the photographs.

The Third Eye will also feature an introduction by Colm Tóibín (a one-time chancellor of the University of Liverpool) and an epilogue by the Booker Prize-winning novelist George Saunders.

Olivia Harrison said, “I want to show people, from George’s unique photographic perspective during the Beatles’ early years, the moments when the whole of your life is ahead of you with unknowable possibilities. His images in The Third Eye capture that spirit.”

Random House publisher Andy Ward said, “Books like this sure don’t come along very often. It’s a window into the mind of a truly great artist, a chance to experience the world through George’s eyes, and a deeply personal record of a transformative cultural moment.”

World rights were sold to Andy Ward at Random House by David Rosenthal.  The Third Eye is scheduled for publication in Fall 2026.
