Internally clean and unmarked."The original Grapefruit is split into five sections - Music, Painting, Event, Poetry, Object -- with each page offering a conceptual direction for work yet to be created...After Ono married John Lennon, Simon & Schuster published a new edition of Grapefruit, though this version included some editorial revisions and additions -- the most prominent among the latter being a short foreword authored by Lennon" (The New Yorker).
