Richard Lester Signed Bookplate Rediscovered

We’re delighted to share an important update on Now These Days Are Gone – the definitive photographic record of The Beatles’ Help!.

As we enter the final stages of binding, we can now confirm that the remaining copies of this special anniversary edition will include a newly added, hand-signed bookplate by Richard Lester, director of Help!, alongside the signature of Mike McCartney. This remarkable signed bookplate was prepared at the time of the book’s original publication and has now been incorporated into this final binding.

With fewer than 40 copies remaining, this represents the final opportunity to acquire the book in this newly completed form – bringing together two key figures connected to the film’s creation.

Each copy includes:

• A new foreword signed by Mike McCartney
• A specially signed Richard Lester bookplate
• An exclusive 10″ × 8″ photographic print, suitable for framing
• Updated commemorative binding, quarter-bound in vegan leather with gilt edges
• A handcrafted archival slipcase

These copies form the last binding order ever placed for Now These Days Are Gone and are currently in the final stages of production. Shipping is expected to begin within the coming weeks. Once these remaining copies are gone, the edition will be permanently closed. Click here to view more from the book and secure one of the final copies today.
