A large card with small lettering saying "breathe" was passed three times among the audience." In the introduction to this British first edition, there is a calligraphic text that states "Hi! My name is John Lennon I'd like you to meet Yoko Ono." This is offset printed in the American edition that is also held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
