Synopsis
With Introduction by Olivia Harrison.
In conversation with lifelong friend and confidant, Derek Taylor, (George's first-person text is interlarded with Derek's fascinating observations and explanations) George describes his upbringing, his first forays with the band, the hard life on the road before they began to make money, the extraordinary phenomenon of Beatlemania and what it was like to be trapped in the middle of it, his spiritual reawakening in India, his love of fast cars and his passion for gardening.
There are 50 archival photographs from his own albums and the lyrics to over 80 of his songs, many in his own hand, accompanied by his uniquely intimate and humorous commentary.
Originally published as a limited edition priced at £250 in 1980 and brimming with the wit, warmth and grace that characterised his lyrics and his life, I, ME, MINE is a treasured portrait of George Harrison and his music.

External Reviews
'I, ME, MINE' is a tasteful, expanded reprint of the closest thing to a George Harrison autobiography.' - Time Out.
'While, I, ME, MINE is not strictly speaking a new book, such is its rarity, except at Beatles memorabilia fairs (at vastly inflated prices). This with 400 pages and 200 illustrations will be treated as a newly discovered treasure trove of insider detail about the biggest band in pop history.' - Barry Forshaw, Publishing News.
"A remarkable document - funny, candid, and utterly George." - Mojo.
"Essential reading for any Beatles fan." - Record Collector.
AI Summary
I, Me, Mine is George Harrison's autobiography - part memoir, part songbook, part intimate portrait of one of the most quietly extraordinary figures in rock history. Written in conversation with his friend and confidant Derek Taylor, it weaves Harrison's own first-person account of his life - from Liverpool to Beatlemania, India to Friar Park - with the handwritten lyrics to over 80 of his songs and 50 archival photographs. Warm, witty, and deeply personal, it's as close as we'll ever get to hearing Harrison tell his own story in his own words.
