Skywriting by Word of Mouth

£125 · Offered by Goldsboro Books

John Lennon wrote Skywriting by Word of Mouth, an impressive collection of writings and drawings, during Yoko Ono's pregnancy with Sean, and always planned to have it published. The book's publication was a wish that seemed to end with Lennon's assassination in 1980 and the theft of the manuscript from the Lennons' home in 1982. When it was recovered and first published in 1986, Skywriting received immediate critical and popular acclaim. Filled with Lennon's extraordinary creative powers and illustrated with his own drawings, the collection reveals his fertile creative spirit up close and in full force. This is a book with John Lennon's spirit on every page—a spirit the world needs to remember.
