Julian Lennon's Copy of The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics

I have long been intrigued by The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics (1969) edited by rock illustrator Alan Aldridge. I recall in high school being entranced by at least some of its commissioned illustrations of Beatles lyrics. I was surprised yesterday to come across Julian Lennon's copy of the book on eBay with a Christmas inscription from his father John Lennon, and, as if that weren't enough, an original sketch. The book, which the eBay seller appraises at a value of $100,000, is offered for sale with a Buy It Now price of $49,000 or alternatively the Make Offer option. Still, it's by no means a happy holiday thought that Julian was willing to part with this book from his father.
