Description
FIRST EDITION PRINTING OF THE "GET BACK" BOOK FROM THE LET IT BE BOX SET
FIRST A LITTLE HISTORY WHICH YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW THERE WERE TWO PRINTING RUNS OF THE BOOK IN 1970
FIRST PRINTING OF THIS ICONIC BOOK CAME WITH THE PAGE INSERTS GLUED DIRECTLY ON TO THE SEAM WITH A VERY SMALL OVERLAP APPROX 2mm WHICH ON REFLECTION WASN'T A GOOD IDEA AS MOST OF THE BOOKS FELL TO PIECES AFTER A FEW READINGS AS THERE WAS NO SIDE ADHESION THIS WAS RECTIFIED BUT NOT COMPLETELY CURED BY ADDING A SMALL CREASE BACK AND FRONT APPROX 7mm IN FROM THE SEAM EDGE TO GIVE A STRONGER ADHESION SURFACE AND MORE SUPPORT
IF YOU REFER TO THE LAST PICTURE IN THE LISTING YOU CAN SEE BOTH TYPES OF BOOK FROM THE BACK SIDE BY SIDE
ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST PRINT COPIES WAS THERE WERE NO CREDITS FOR GEORGE'S AND RINGO'S SONGS OR MUSIC COMPANIES ( HARRISONGS AND STARTLING MUSIC) SO A PASTED SHEET WAS QUICKLY ADDED AT THE FRONT OF THE BOOK TO CORRECT THIS
THIS BOOK OFFERED FOR SALE DOES HAVE BOTH OF THESE ERRORS
THE BOOK ITSELF IS IN REASONABLY CLEAN CONDITION THE PAGES ARE RETAINED WITHIN THE OUTER SLEEVE BUT I DON'T WANT TO OPEN IT TOO FAR IN CASE THE INEVITABLE HAPPENS ,THE PASTED INNER CREDIT IS INTACT AND IN PLACE
FRONT COVER HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF LAMINATED LIFT ON THE SEAM AND THE ODD CREASE ON THE OPENING EDGE ,REAR OF THE COVER HAS THE ODD TINY CREASE
THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CREASE ON THE FIRST BLACK PAGE AND A SMALL STAMPED IMAGE ON THE FIRST WHITE PAGE (POSSIBLY ORIGINAL OWNERS INITIALS OR RECORD SHOP ?) BUT IT DOESN'T IMPACT ON THE TEXT
