A Spaniard in the Works

A Spaniard in the Works is a book from 1965 by John Lennon. The book consists of nonsensical stories and drawings similar to the style of his previous book, 1964's In His Own Write. The name refers to a pun on the term "A spanner in the works" (analogous to the American English expression, "throw a monkey wrench" [into someone's plans], a spanner being the British English equivalent to the American English word, wrench), another fragment of Lennon's humour. The Swedish publishing house Bakhåll published in 1997 the book in an English & Swedish edition, together with a CD containing tracks with never before released Lennon pieces and interviews. 1997 CD tracks:
