There is a stated first edition with DJ on there right now, selling for less than $10, but there's still time left. A hardback of the Illustrated Lyrics, with DJ sold for $9 (plus postage) in what looks to be VG condition. Frank Daniels

Ironically, the paperback version of the book is not illustrated at the hardcover version is. In addition, the paperback version contains a center section of Beatles photographs, and every copy I've seen, including the one I own, is partially or totally broken on the spine in that center area of the photos.

Cant believe they are selling for as low as they are on ebay. I would be leary if its a 1st edition going for 4.99.....no real Beatles collector would sell an older out of print book for 5 bucks......but thats just my opinion, besides I wouldnt sell mine even if I had to for 5 dollars.
