Front Cover
Chronicle Books, Mar 8, 2007 - Biography & Autobiography - 456 pages
Cherished by fans and collectors since its first publication in 1980, I, Me, Mine is now available in paperback. The closest we will come to George Harrison's autobiography, it features George in conversation with The Beatles' spokesperson Derek Taylor, discussing everything from early Beatlemania to his love of gardening. The lyrics to over 80 of his songs, many in his own hand, are accompanied by his uniquely intimate and humorous commentary. Fifty archival photographs of George with The Beatles and solo capture a journey of creative and spiritual transformation. Brimming with the wit, warmth, and grace that characterized his life, and with an introduction by his wife, Olivia, I, Me, Mine is a treasured portrait of George Harrison and his music.

About the author (2007)

Besides being a singer, songwriter, guitarist and sitarist, George Harrison was also a record producer and music innovator. As he forged his own identity and drifted away from the Beatles, he became a well-respected songwriter, musical pioneer, and a catalyst for a generation's interest in Indian culture. He was born on February 25, 1943 and died on November 29, 2001. He will be best remembered for his contribution to the musical group "The Beatles." He was the lead guitar player for the group and after it was disbanded he became a solo artist in his own right. He helped organize a major charity concert with the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh, and is the only Beatle to have released an autobiography, releasing "I Me Mine" in 1980, although little was said about The Beatles.
