Most people know of John Lennon’s writing from his music — but if you want to get to know Lennon the person, you need to read his letters. The John Lennon Letters ($20) brings together nearly 300 letters and postcards written by Lennon to friends, family, lovers, and even total strangers. The collection is edited and annotated by Hunter Davies, who wrote The Beatles’ authorized biography way back in ’68.
