The Iceland Post Company recently published a book on Yoko Ono’s
IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in cooperation with the artist. The tower was
erected on Reykjavík’s Viðey island on October 9, 2007, in the memory
of her late husband John Lennon.
The 100-page book, simply entitled IMAGINE PEACE TOWER, contains a
wealth of information on Ono’s project.
In the book, the artist describes how the idea of the Peace Tower was
born, how she and Lennon met and why they decided to fight for world
peace together.
Photographs from Ono’s private collection are also included in the book,
along with a host of other photographs and illustrations of the Peace
Tower, Viðey island and its surroundings.
The book, available in Icelandic and English, comes with a bonus DVD and
a sheet of stamps depicting the Peace Tower, which were released by the
Post on October 9 this year.
The book is distributed by Heimur, the publisher of Iceland Review,
is available from Heimur webstore here and from Iceland Post here.
