Win a signed copy of Paul McCartney’s new book The Lyrics, valued at $4,000
To celebrate the release of Paul McCartney’s new book The Lyrics on November 2nd, we’re giving you the chance to win one of the rare signed copies.
With only 175 copies signed by Sir Paul worldwide, only three of which are available for purchase in Australia for $4,000 RRP, we’re giving Rolling Stone Australia readers the special chance to own a part of history.
Described as a self-portrait in 154 songs, The Lyrics features songs from all stages of McCartney’s career, including his earliest compositions, through his time as one of the legendary Beatles, Wings, right up to present times. Each song is also accompanied by commentary from McCartney, as he recounts his life and art, sharing his unique insight into the creative process.
Edited and introduced by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, the book also reveals never-before-seen handwritten lyrics from an unrecorded Beatles song titled Tell Me Who He Is, which were discovered during the writing process of The Lyrics, in one of Sir Paul’s personal notebooks dating back to the early ’60s.
Showcasing many treasures from the icon’s archive, The Lyrics includes handwritten lyric sheets, unseen personal photographs, drafts, and drawings, across McCartney’s career, revealing the processes and people behind some of the most famous songs of all time.

As McCartney writes in the foreword of The Lyrics:
“More often than I can count, I’ve been asked if I would write an autobiography, but the time has never been right. The one thing I’ve always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is to write new songs. I know that some people, when they get to a certain age, like to go to a diary to recall day-to-day events from the past, but I have no such notebooks. What I do have are my songs, hundreds of them, which I’ve learned serve much the same purpose. And these songs span my entire life.”
