I just got this note from Alex Franchi about a new Sgt Pepper book. I love these independently produced books that highlight items acquired by collectors for their personal collections over the years. Part of the attraction of these books is the very few copies that are actually made and years later they become increasingly more difficult to find and somewhat akin to the feeling of being in a treasure hunt!
Here is Alex’s note:
THE BEATLES – THE SGT. PEPPER’S ERA
by Fulvio Fiore and Alex Franchi
(295 pages, Isla Publishing)
This is the fourth chapter in a successful new series of photographic publications retracing the myth of the Liverpool quartet in the international printed paper weekly. 1967 was a fantastic and a very innovative year for the Fab Four!!!
Rare newspapers, promotional posters, charts, rare covers relating to record publications, charts, and other international press finds. Much of the material from the authors’ personal collection is unpublished or rarely seen before testifying a collecting interest which, after more than 50 years, has not shown signs of decreasing, indeed… Available in a limited edition of 50 hand-numbered copies:
A SPLENDID TIME IS GUARANTEED FOR ALL!
Enjoy the previews and contact Alex Franchi to get a copy Soundlover30@hotmail.com
