The front cover has a picture of a pile of apples underneath the title & over 'George, John, Paul, Ringo 1971' text, which sits above the Apple Corps Ltd, 3 Savile Row address & phone number.
The back cover is a negative image of the Apple picture & title.

Overleaf is the contents page listing the sections of the book with the Fan Club address & also the cute 'Compiled by Apple Records with a little help from their friends' text giving credit for the line drawings by Lucy 'c/o APPLE SCRUFFS ULTD. The Steps, 3 Savile Row, London, W.1.' :-)

The final page is another superb Lucy drawing with each Beatle in 1971 period setting - for example, Paul is drawn with sheep & a baton (Obviously Lucy knew who Percy Thrillington was!)
Inside the back cover is simply 'To Be Continued'

Condition :-

Corners are crisp. Printing is clear.
The pages are free from any creasing, rips or tears.

The only clue to its fifty + years of age is a little wear to the back cover.

***Please note***

As with previous copies of this book we've sold all 72 pages are present and correct, but not all pages are sequenced correctly - this may have been intentional, it may be due to the 'work in progress' nature of a promotional item or it may have been a product of the 'weird and wacky' times it was produced in - we may never know!

An incredible Beatles collectable!
