Artists’ book reproducing a pocket diary completed in the hand of John Lennon for the year of 1969; the original work was written in November 1968 as a “diary of the future”. Most entries record the same banal routine, with some variation on “got up / went to work / came home / watched telly / went to bed”, with “fucked wife” peppered in occasionally.

Originally published as a part of Aspen Magazine in a Box #7 (“The British Issue”) in 1970. Though undated, research suggests that it was produced shortly after the Aspen publication. OCLC locates only three copies as of November 2022.
