An original typescript on Yoko Ono and John Lennon’s personal ‘Lenono’ letterhead, of Yoko Ono’s introduction to her book John Lennon: Summer of 1980, published in 1983 by Perigree books. Made up of three paragraphs, followed by the poem “Sky People”. Signed in black ink by Yoko Ono at the end of the poem. This is the physical manuscript republished in the book, with this introduction and poem being reproduced on pages 6 and 7. Ono’s signature here was the one photographed and printed in the book underneath the introduction. A unique object, as manuscript material from Yoko Ono related to publications about John are wildly scarce. Poignant and moving.
