Poems, lyrics, and notes by The Doors' lead vocalist Jim Morrison. Morrison dictated various poems and phrases to a fellow passenger, Ken Lambert, he met on a flight from London to Los Angeles on August 28, 1970. Morrison also hand-wrote a sheet of lyrics, played tic-tac-toe with Lambert, and initialed five of Lambert's handwritten dictation pages - including three poems, a drawing, and the game, "JM."

This set consists of 11 pages rendered in pen, one printed page with basic information about Morrison and Lambert's encounter, and ten printed pages of Lambert recounting the experience in detail. They exhibit minor fraying along their edges with one page intentionally torn at the bottom and discoloration, including a two-tone from being previously matted.
