Item description from seller

Fifty Years Adrift is Derek Taylor's richly personal memoir, conceived as an intimate gift for Beatles associate Alistair Taylor before being expanded into a full-scale work for Genesis Publications in 1984. Written with Taylor's signature blend of wit, nostalgia, and sharp observation, it moves from his early career in British journalism through his pivotal role as the Beatles' press officer and close friend. The narrative captures the cultural upheaval of the 1960s from the inside, offering candid portraits of the band, their circle, and the changing world they helped define. This copy bears the signature of George Harrison, adding a direct link to the history Taylor so vividly recounts. Signed and Limited to 2000 copies of which this is 1200. Signed by George Harrison, Derek Taylor (the Beatles' publicist) and Larry Smith (illustrator). A few scuffs to leather, still near fine in fine, lightly rubbed publisher's slipcase. An extremely bright, clean, and tight copy. Half calf backed cloth boards, red morocco spine label, title and ruled in gilt, compartments decorated in gilt. Illustrated endpapers (by Derek Taylor), edges gilt. In publisher's brown paper slipcase, paper title label.…
