On my way to meet my parents in Kimpura (Greenhills) earlier this evening, I walked past the window of Booksale and spotted a nice looking book called The Unicorn.I got curious about it, so I decided to check it out (never mind that my parents had already ordered and were ringing my celphone).
When I entered, they had this other book on the front rack that got me all excited. It was a book on The Beatles. I quickly scanned the cover for the author and saw that it was the name I had been hoping to see: Robert Freeman.
I had been checking out Amazon for Robert Freeman books on The Beatles, and now here was The Beatles: A Private View
in Booksale. Of course, I bought it (and The Unicorn, too!).Robert Freeman is a photographer who worked with The Beatles. You are probably familiar with some of his work -- the covers of the albums With The Beatles, Beatles For Sale, Rubber Soul, and Help!
I'm so happy. The book isn't in mint condition, but I don't care. The pages are in good condition, anyway. Only the covers are a little raggedy, especially the corners.
The Unicorn book looks very cool, too. Here are some images from it:
Yes yes, I know I wasn't supposed to buy any more books. But, you have to admit -- a Robert Freeman book on The Beatles in Booksale? You gotta be insane to pass that up.
Besides, it's gonna look mighty nice beside my photo book of The Rolling Stones (which I also got on sale, yeah!) ;-)

Hi Lesley! I know the feeling of finding something you thought you've lost along with childhood; or something you thought you just imagined! I have a bunch of things from my own childhood that I have been searching for online. And it's always a great moment when i get a hit hehe. =D
