McCARTNEY, Paul. Hey Grandude! (Signed by Paul McCartney and Illustrator)

London: Puffin, 2019. First edition, first printing. Quarto. Original illustrated boards. Colour illustrations throughout by Kathryn Durst. Near fine. Publisher’s pictorial boards, clean and bright, corners sharp, spine square. Housed in a custom-made full leather box. Illustrations: Full colour throughout; colours fresh and unfaded. Endpapers: Illustrated; signatures neatly placed and bold. An exceptionally attractive example, with clean boards and crisp signatures. Signed by Paul McCartney, with a small heart motif, and separately signed and illustrated by Kathryn Durst, who adds a charming hand-drawn crab with heart—a delightful and uncommon dual-signature presentation.

Hey Grandude! is Paul McCartney’s much-loved children’s debut, inspired by his own experiences as a grandfather. The book was an instant bestseller on publication and remains a cornerstone of McCartney-related children’s literature and modern Beatles-adjacent collecting.

Copies signed by McCartney alone are increasingly scarce; examples signed by both McCartney and illustrator Kathryn Durst, particularly with an original drawing, are significantly rarer and highly desirable.
