title: Dear John: Letters From a Fan in New York City: An Interactive Book
author: Judith Furedi
description: "Beautiful...Brillian...Unique...It Made Me Cry. Judith Furedi's book, Dear John, has to be one of the most sensitive books I have ever seen about New York's and it's lost minstrel, John Lennon. Each time I open its pages, my heart sighs again with nostalgic joy because I feel not only pain, but innocent love. It is a book to keep next to your bedside for inspiration when your soul has lost track of its wistful dreams. --Linda Keen, author of 'Across the Univerve with John Lennon at keenintuition.com<br /><br />"Beautiful. This book will alllow you to remember John Lennon more." --Sid Bernstein, author of 'Not Just the Beatles' and agent to the stars, and the man who first brought the Beatles to the USA. From the introduction to the new book on John Lennon by Ms. Furedi<br /><br />"This book has to be viewed in a whole different way than others discussed within the pages of this magazine. It is unique....artistic." --Beatles Unlimited Magazine
