A relatively hard to find McCartney book and an unreleased John Lennon book from the same company
Paul McCartney
Sire-Chappell published a series of music profile books back in the seventies. One that did see the light of day was the McCartney book that is featured below, which I have had in my collection for many years and have thoroughly enjoyed. There was also supposed to have been a Lennon book issued by the same company, that was never released or issued. The proof or evidence of that is known by the back cover of one of the actually released Sire-Chappell books.
John Lennon
You can see the proposed Lennon cover photo in the 2nd photo shown below. The Lennon book never came out as the final manuscript was not delivered to the publisher by the author for some reason. I know nothing more than that and that reason was given on a discussion group on the Internet, so I do not know how much validity that holds. In either case we do know that a Lennon book was indeed planned by the back cover of one of the actual released Sire-Chappell books.
I love stories like this that deal with the “what if’s” surrounding collecting possibilities that might have been.
