1964: EYES OF THE STORM - VERY SPECIAL EDITION SIGNED BY PAUL McCARTNEY!!

A while back we may have mentioned that we were in possession of one of the extremely limited special edition of Paul McCartney’s beautiful book of photography, 1964: Eyes of the Storm. Only 175 of these babies were printed, and each one is individually numbered and signed by the great man.

It is kind of a big deal.

After the interest that was generated when we sold our signed copy of McCartney’s Lyrics last year, we realized that we had an opportunity to raise some money for a good cause this time around. So if you would like to get your hands on this (literally) unique collector’s item, here is what are proposing.

We are going to hold an online auction for this item. What does that mean? It means people will be able to email us their bids any time up until 9:00 p.m. CST on Monday, July 24. The highest bid at that time will. (More details below.) Here’s the thing, though. Once we have cleared what we need to pay for the original book and cover our expenses, we will apply every single dollar over and above that amount to purchase books for the library that our friends at the Center Project are building for the LGBTQIA+ community that they serve with such dedication and passion.

We want to make this as fair and as transparent as possible, so here are the rules:

  1. All bids must be made by email to mail@skylarkbookshop.com. Bids submitted any other way will NOT be considered or accepted.

  2. We will do our best to keep the website updated here with the highest current bid - at least daily, hopefully more frequently. But, you know, we’re busy people, so you may have to be patient with us.

  3. On which subject: PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SHOP.

  4. You can make as many bids as you like.

  5. Bidding will end at 9:00 p.m. CST on Monday, July 24. ON THE DOT.

  6. Missouri sales tax will be payable if the auction winner is a Missouri resident.

  7. The winning bid will not include shipping. We will contact the winner and agree the best way of shipping the book at that point - there will be an additional charge for this.

  8. Good luck!
