An e-book will be published June 12 in conjunction with the upcoming Grammy Museum exhibit, “Ringo: Peace & Love,” in Los Angeles, Genesis Publications and Starr announced Wednesday. Select images from the book, which also includes unpublished images from his personal archive, will be displayed at the exhibit.
A limited-edition hand-bound book signed by Starr will be available in December.
Starr’s photographs and stories “portray four lads from Liverpool, trying to live normal lives amidst the frenzy that surrounded them,” the statement said. He previously published “Postcards From the Boys.”

A man in upstate New York wants to erect a statue to the Hollywood film director considered by some critics to be the worst of all time.
Ed Wood was born in 1924 in Poughkeepsie, where he became attracted to horror and science fiction films shown at the city's movie theaters. After World War II, Wood moved to Hollywood to make films.
His low-budget, campy movies were universally panned, but have now achieved cult status. “Plan 9 From Outer Space” tops many lists as the worst film ever made. Wood died in 1978.
Johnny Depp portrayed the filmmaker in the 1994 film, “Ed Wood.”
The Poughkeepsie Journal reports that Joe Mendillo is attempting to raise funds to commission and build a life-size bronze statue of Wood in the city.
