From the back cover:

The murder of John Lennon on December 8, 1980, sent shockwaves around the world. The most acclaimed singer/songwriter of his generation, first a Beatle and then a boundary-pushing solo artist, was senselessly silenced forever at age forty; immediately, his final musical statement, an intimate, pop-infused collection called Double Fantasy, released only weeks before his death, skyrocketed to #1 worldwide, as did its poignantly titled single, (Just Like) Starting Over. To fans and critics alike, the album captures a cultural icon at the pinnacle of his creative success and personal fulfillment: thirty years later it remains a musical touchstone and an affecting reminder of what could have been.

The definitive account of John Lennon's last days, this acclaimed oral history of the making of Double Fantasy weaves together fascinating, insightful commentary from all the key players involved in its extraordinary creation - including Lennon himself via archival interviews. Featuring stunning, candid photos of the Hit Factory sessions taken by David M. Spindel and Roger Farrington, Starting Over is the essential portrait for anyone who hears both a beginning and ending in the tracks of Double Fantasy
