Dear Mr Kershaw: A Pensioner Writes: Letters To Pop Stars From A Retired Member Of The Public... With Genuine Replies From The Artists Themselves! (SCARCE FIRST EDITION , FIRST PRINTING SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR DEREK PHILPOTT) by Philpott, Derek - 2015

Good Day Books, 2015. NrF. First edition, first printing. Paperback. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, DEREK PHILPOTT, without dedication or inscription on title-page in gold ink. Illustrated. 224pp. Brought to the printed page on the back of the cult internet sensation and contributed to by many of the artists involved - it is the result of seven years' surreal and quite bonkers work. 'Derek' is a retired gent who back in 2008 set out on a bizarre crusade, writing good old-fashioned letters to pop and rock stars regarding lyrical and ambiguities in their most famous songs and often hilairiously getting the wrong end of the stick. Some of the people involved are: Noddy Holder, Billy Bragg, Dave Stewart of the 'Eurythmics', Tom Robinson, Rick Wakeman, Squezze, Toyah, Howard Jones, Kim Wilde, Level 42, Jona Lewie, Tears For fears, Human League, Elvis Costello, and many more. Minor creasing to bottom-edge of rear cover; else a near fine copy of a SCARCE first edition, first printing SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR DEREK PHILPOTT. . Signed by Author. First Edition, First Printing. Paperback. Near Fine.
