PM2007 CHARITY AUCTION
PM2007 is a one-day celebration of Patrick McGoohan, "Danger Man", "The Prisoner", and Portmeirion, held in Portmeirion's Hercules Hall on Sunday August 19th 2007. The event includes interviews with star guests, archive screenings, and much more. The event is in aid of Ty Gobaith Hospice for terminally-ill children. Details on the event and how to book tickets can be seen HERE.
As part of the event, an auction of memorabilia will take place with all profits donated to the event/charity.
Non-attendees to the event can also bid on items by email! In a way similar to how ebay works, simply email TUW with the items you want and your maximum bid. One of the event organisers will then bid up to this amount on your behalf. Please note 7 days before the event we may ask for payment for the item, which will be returned if your bids are unsuccessful. Postage at cost will also be charged to non-attendee winning bidders.

ITEM 20 - "THE BEATLES IN JAPAN" ONE OFF ORIGINAL BOOK PROOFS
IMAGE
TO FOLLOW
These pages form the earliest incarnation for the book “The Beatles
in Japan”. These are what the publishing industry calls “galleys”,
which are produced to give as fuller view as possible what the finished book
will look like. I provided the text later on, which I could only realistically
do once I had seen the photos. The book was published as a “Japan only”
edition, and if you’re lucky enough to find a copy of the book, it retails
for somewhere in the region of £100. That said, its value has probably
increased, as it was only limited to 6000- and was issued as a special tie-in
with the 40th anniversary of the Beatles tour of Japan during 1966.
Current bid : £0
