I, Me, Mine

I was a bit overwhelmed at the size and weight of this substantial book by George Harrison. I’ve always been intrigued by George and his life so wanted something written by him. After exploring and starting to read, I realized that this was not a 700 page+ written biography - thank goodness!! There are wonderful written portions of George’s experiences - always humble and numerous, and many many pages of his written music, personal photos and more. This is a great book to gift to a George fan. I highly recommend it as a wonderful memory of a great artist, composer, musician who communicated his spiritual beliefs through music.

Beautifully done! Great insights into the meaning or inspiration for many of George Harrison’s Beatles and early solo career songs. Very inspirational, and included many personal stories that I hadn’t heard before

George is my favorite Beatle. He has been ever since he introduced the Sitar and India-inspired songs to the roster. Of all four, he’s the most knowledgeable guitarist and his songs after the group disbanded are my faves. Naturally, I couldn’t pass this book up when I came across it. It is insightful, entertaining and fun! This isn’t the book you read through like w novel, this is the book you keep on your coffee table or nightstand to savor! The begging is a little bio of sorts, then we go into some stellar photos but the best part is the stories about his songs! I had no idea Savoy Truffle was inspired by Eric Clapron’s bad tooth and a box of chocolates! Whether you are a Harrison fan or a Beatles fan in general, this is a remarkable book to have !!!

Lifetime Beatles ultra fan, here. I felt like I was having a conversation with George while reading the book. I am a musician and songwriter, so reading what he was thinking about when he wrote so many of his great songs was a wonderful treat from a man lost far too soon. I miss him! This is a great companion or extension to Living In the Material World, published 10+ years earlier. No Beatle fan should be without this.

I bought this book for my nephew (who’s a HUGE Beetles/George Harrison fan) for Christmas. He lives in another state so I wasn’t able to physically hold and see the book for myself but I was told the book (I bought it used because this book seems to be pretty hard to find and when you can find it it’s extremely expensive) arrived in perfect condition and my nephew LOVED it. I also want to add that the price of the book was super reasonable especially after doing some research. I’d definitely buy from this buyer again.

Spine of dust jacket was a bit more torn/ragged than what was expected.

I've always been a huge George Harrison fan. I have CDs, LPs, posters, books and a lot of memorabilia, but not (amazingly, for a so called "huge fan") this beautiful piece. Everyone said to me that this is not an autobiography per se, but a collection of lyrics with a little review by George himself. And certainly... it is. Harrison is not a common person, is a notable and deep-minded musician. He said what he wanted to say through his music... through his lyrics. The only way to know what really happened in his life... is through the meaning of his work. This book is a beautiful collection of memories, unpublished photos, original illustrations, partitures... and the perfect words to know a man who lived for peace, love and music. I also have to mention the prologue by Olivia Harrison... just perfect.

I wasn't expecting this book to be as awesome as it is. It is filled with songs, pictures, George's handwritten notes, and more. It is beautifully written and created. If you are a Beatles fan and love George Harrison, you need this book. I am so happy that I made this purchase.
