One of the school books Sir Paul McCartney used as a teenager - featuring a doodle of a man smoking and a teacher's critical comments - is going up for auction.
The Beatle used the exercise book while he was a pupil at the Liverpool Institute High School for Boys, where he was taught English literature by Alan 'Dusty' Durband.
A family based in Liverpool, who want to remain anonymous, are putting the item up for sale.
One of the schoolbooks used by Beatle Sir Paul McCartney while a pupil at the Liverpool Institute High School for Boys is expected to fetch £10,000 at an auction at Omega Auctions in Newton-Le-Willows, Merseyside, next week
They say they 'have had the book for as long as they can remember'.
Inside are 22 pages of essays the then student wrote on novels such as Thomas Hardy's The Return Of The Native and John Milton's Paradise Lost.
It also features a doodle of a man smoking on the back cover.
The teacher wrote notes in the margins to the teenager, who would go on to change the course of music history.
'I'd answer the question first before challenging its truth,' Mr Durband tells him on page three of the exercise book.
But the teenager, 17 or 18 at the time, showed promise, achieving marks from B- to B++ for his work.
The auction, which takes place at 11am on Tuesday March 26, will also feature a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, without the lenses, worn by John Lennon
All five essays in the book, which is expected to fetch £10,000 next week, have been marked by Mr Durband.
It dates from the 1959 to 1960 school year.
Other highlights of the sale at Omega Auctions in Newton-Le-Willows include a George Harrison cassette, containing previously unheard tracks written and recorded in 1978, estimated to fetch £3,000.
A Beatles poster snapped up at a garage sale in the US for just seven dollars (just over £6) last year is expected to sell for £12,000
Experts at the auction house said it is not known why the Beatle called the cassette - with song titles such as Spoken Intro George Legs Harry and Brazil 1,2 & 3 - The Hitler Tapes, but it would have 'most likely been tongue in cheek'.

The buyer purchased it for his son, a Beatles fan, not knowing its true worth.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
