Description: VERY RARE George Harrison Genesis Publications books, especially in this excellent condition. Hard to find one of these editions in this condition. Even more rare is the fact both editions are numbered as #132 out of a total of 2500 published books. Both Volumes 1 & 2 are offered here as an identically numbered set. Impossible to find such sets today. Both Books have been in my collection for many years among many other rare Genesis Publications books, in a smoke free environment and well taken care of.

Keith, one of the finest botanical watercolour artists in the world, soon found himself travelling regularly from his cottage in North Wales to Oxfordshire to discuss with George the interpretations of his song lyrics in order to prepare the illustrations for this volume. To complement these delightful imahes the artist has hand-lettered the words to the songs. The lyrics are emebelished with additional small paintings that posses an irresistable charm. ***** Please note that this edition is numbered, by George Harrison himself, as 132 out of 2500.
