'For me, the essence of this book is the lyrics and I believe they stand the test of time because they are written about man's eternal quest, dilemmas, joys and sorrows. George's lyrics were, in my opinion, the most spiritually conscious of our time' - Olivia HarrisonCherished by fans and collectors, I Me Mine is the closest we will come to George Harrison's autobiography. This new volume has been significantly updated since the 1980 original. For the first time I Me Mine - The Extended Edition covers the full span of George Harrison's life and work, exploring his upbringing in Liverpool, the growth of Beatlemania, his love of India, gardening and racing cars.

I Me Mine also presents 141 of George Harrison's songs. With lyrics handwritten and reproduced in facsimile, accompanied by his uniquely intimate and humorous commentary, this new edition of I Me Mine now includes more than 50 additional lyrics written for the Beatles and Harrison's solo albums - from All Things Must Pass to Brainwashed.

With written contributions from Olivia Harrison and Derek Taylor, original cover art by Shepard Fairey, and a wealth of previously unpublished material, I Me Mine -The Extended Edition is a treasured portrait of George Harrison and his music.

'Writing a song is like going to confession... writing songs to try and find out who you are.' -George Harrison'A book which tells the story of growing up, not necessarily the hard way but certainly not the easy way, for no matter how greatly privilege and wealth may have seemed to grace the Beatles' evolution, 'easy' is not the word for what happened to them on their way to what has come to be known as The Top.' - Derek Taylor
