Item description from seller

First edition, number 121 of a limited edition of 2,000 copies signed by George Harrison, Derek Taylor (the Beatles's publicist), and the illustrator Larry Smith. This is a presentation copy to Hilary Gerrard, Ringo Starr's manager and director of Apple Corps, and is inscribed to him by Taylor, Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Barbara Bach (Starr's wife), Neil Aspinall (chief executive of Apple Corps), and singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, nicknamed the "American Beatle". Ringo Starr and his wife, Barbara Bach, have inscribed the copyright page, "To Our Dear Friend, Once you have met Him, you never forget Him, Love Ringo xxx & Barbara xxx". Bach has added, "The longer you know him, the more you love him! & I do!, B". The limitation page is inscribed "For Hilary, I love him too, Neil Aspinall". Aspinall was first employed by the Beatles as a road manager and went on to head Apple Corps. Below, the author has written, "For Hilary, another, fine limited edition from an, old admirer and, friend. Lots of love & warmth - Derek aka, Derek Taylor. George Harrison has inscribed beneath his foreword, "To Hilary - with lots of love and wishes for all our Peace of Minds for ever and ever Amen - with a drawing of an Om and a cross. An inscription on the verso of the Author's Note reads, "To Hill 'arry, with love, yea love, from, Derek (Paul) Taylor", an in-joke from Paul McCartney. Lastly inscribed on the afterword by Harry Nilsson, "To the greatest man alive! And to Viv - Onward and upward said the progressive midget with love at Xmas '84 (signature) or H. N. or Hubba OK and more love & more & more & more.". Hilary Gerrard was Ringo Starr's business manager from the early 1970s and a director of the Beatles Apple Corps Limited. Fifty Years Adrift is the autobiography of Taylor and is "the companion volume to I Me Mine" (prospectus). "Taylor was many things: an elegant writer who could flip into the crudest, earthiest language; a press officer who would go beyond the call of duty at the same time as he placed advertorial copy in the pop magazines of the time; a Beatle intimate taking remedial acid trips with John Lennon at the same time as he was an employee, if not a servant. He defined and extended what it was to be a PR at the same time as he retained a cool, journalistic eye. In the end, he preserved what was best about the high Sixties for future generations. Taylor had remained close to George Harrison, who contributed addenda to 1984's Fifty Years Adrift, a limited-edition book that expanded the Sixties' coverage of As Time Goes By" (Savage). Quarto. Colour frontispiece with tissue guard, lavishly illustrated with Beatles memorabilia and half-tones from photographs. Original half calf, red morocco spine label, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, compartments stamped in blind, sides and corners trimmed with single gilt fillet, brown cloth sides, vignette on front cover in red and gilt, rear cover with Derek Taylor's signature stamped in gilt, illustrated endpapers from a design by Larry Smith, edges gilt, original red silk ribbon and colour concert ticket bookmark. Housed in the publisher's brown slipcase with paper title label. Spine of book scuffed and slipcase lightly bumped, a very good copy.
