The trip to Likian to Muli is one of the most trying in South- western China.

19770290661977. Book. Very Good. Magazine. First Edition/First Printing. Issues #1& #2 of the Beatles Fanzine titled Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. The fanzine which eventually evolved into a professional format magazine was a very amatuerish effort at the start. The first two issues anyway were 11 x 14" x 8 1/2" page items printed on both sides included some hand typing many B&W photos some work that was actually written by hand and held together by a staple at the top. I am sure that a common copy machine was also used in the publishing process. Issue #1 April-May 1977 Issue #2 June -July1977. These copies initially sent to a fan in Baldwin NY Richard Hoffman. Not perfect examples but have aged well. Paperback
