B21530 – George Harrison Living in the Material World Olivia Harrison 2011 Hardback Book (UK)

An original hardback copy of the book ‘George Harrison Living In The Material World’ by Olivia Harrison, published in 2011 by Harry N. Abrams.

Drawing on George Harrison’s personal archive of photographs, letters, diaries, and memorabilia, Olivia Harrison reveals the arc of his life, from his guitar-obsessed boyhood in Liverpool, to the astonishment of the Beatles years, to his days as an independent musician and bohemian squire. Here too is the record of Harrison’s lifelong commitment to Indian music and his adventures as a movie producer, a Traveling Wilbury, and Formula One racing fan. The book is filled with stories and reminiscences from Harrison’s friends, including Eric Clapton, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idol, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and many others. Among its previously unpublished riches are photographs by Harrison himself beginning in the mid-1960s. It is a rich tribute to a man who died far too young, but touched the lives of millions.
