yoko ono talking

By Nick Johnstone
Omnibus Press, 2006

German print of this publication in 2008:
Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf

"A collection of quotes from Yoko Ono about her extraordinary life."

Publisher: "She is the world's most famous widow, the often maligned, largely mysterious Japanese avant-garde artist whose relationship with John Lennon turned them into a single entity: JohnandYoko. It took the death of John for the world to finally warm to her, yet she remains controversial and confrontational, an icon of unpredictability, and the most misunderstood figure in the ongoing saga of the greatest pop group the world has ever known."

Chrome Dreams, 2004

Paperback, 320 pages. Black&white photographs of Yoko Ono, some of them quite rare. From the book description: "This riveting exposé of Yoko Ono covers her early life growing up as the eldest daughter of a wealthy Japanese family and her personal experience as a result of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima at the end of the World War II. Detailed are her move to New York for schooling during the 1950s, her first marriage to a composer, and her early days as an experimental artist in London during the early 1960s. New light is shed on her initial meeting with John Lennon and their 13-year relationship, and the rebuilding of her life after his tragic murder.
