HARRISON, George (ed.); TAYLOR, Derek.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Fifty Years Adrift. First edition, number 41 of 2,000 copies signed by George Harrison, Derek Taylor (the Beatles' publicist), and the illustrator Larry Smith. Fifty Years Adrift is the autobiography of Taylor and the companion to I Me Mine."Taylor was many things: an elegant writer who could flip into the crudest, earthiest language; a press officer who would go beyond the call of duty at the same time as he placed advertorial copy in the pop magazines of the time; a Beatle intimate taking remedial acid trips with John Lennon at the same time as he was an employee, if not a servant. He defined and extended what it was to be a PR at the same time as he retained a cool, journalistic eye. In the end, he preserved what was best about the high Sixties for future generations" (Savage).
