The Autograph Manuscript
of John Lennon
January 17 - March 7, 2006
New York
The manuscript lot described in the catalog brochure and on the Bonhams US website is being offered for sale by sealed bid auction. For purposes of this sale, a sealed bid auction is an auction in which bidders submit bids for a fixed price that remain undisclosed to other bidders by a specified deadline, after which time all legitimate bids will be reviewed by the company, and, subject to the reserve, the highest legitimate bid submitted in accordance with the Conditions of Sale will be declared the winning bid.
By participating in this sale, each bidder agrees to be bound by the Conditions of Sale applicable to this auction.
Prospective bidders are encouraged to view the lot at one of the Previews in advance of submitting a bid. Except as expressly set forth in the Conditions of Sale, the lot will be sold “As Is” and with all faults; illustrations in our catalogs, website and other materials are provided for identification only.

Bidders will be informed of the success or failure of their bid submissions within approximately three days following the close of sale. Bonhams reserves the right to withhold the final successful bid price at its discretion.
