Signed book: The Beatles Book by Norman Parkinson. First printing. London: Hutchinson and Company, 1964. Softcover, 9 x 12.5, 30 pages.

In fine condition, with some light soiling and general light handling wear. At his artistic apogee, Parkinson was considered Britain’s most important fashion photographer.

Fully signed copies of a first printing Beatles Book remain exceedingly scarce and are thus highly coveted by collectors.
