I don't know of the authorized status!
We'll know soon enough!

At least two AFAIK. One is Hi-Res, the other far from it (400ish Mb vs 42 Mb...)

This one is 466MB
the other one I found was 49MB and it hurt my eyes compared to this one.
I didn't upload the small one. Neither are definitive.
Ole!

Thanks for the upload, turns out I already had this hi-res version but upon reviewing it, it appears quite dark and dingy.

I extracted the images from the PDF and am in the process of "remastering" the book in Photoshop (I'm about halfway done) – brightening tone, spotting out little buggers on the guy's scanner glass, evening out the brightness of the text and images, removing the blue shadow in the crease, etc. without going too crazy.

Yeah, I don't like artifacts in my books either ;-)

If there's no objection I'll upload it, hopefully Sunday.

Eventually, you will read John Lennon's two books and your English will become bent like metal...but in a good way.
Thanks for the kind words!

Here is my PDF remaster, I think it is an improvement on the version floating around. I used that same source but worked with the images to make them clearer and brighter where possible (ie, some glare from the original scans was toned down but cannot be removed). I also included a text version of the book in the hi-res upload:

Hi-res (images 15" high at 200ppi, 1.54GB):

Lower res (images 12" high at 150ppi, 715MB):
