The professional also stated that there will be no event, such as an auction, to sell the manuscript. Interested parties should get in touch as soon as possible to purchase it. He said: “It is not an auction. It is a private sale. First to arrive, first to catch”.
The company owner also said that the manuscripts for “Subterranean Homesick Blues” and “Lay Lady Lay” are also available for purchase. For $ 1.2 million and $ 650,000, respectively.
