NEW YORK (AP) _ A recently discovered Gibson guitar once owned by Beatle George Harrison and a guitar played by the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards on the 1964 Ed Sullivan show are among the highlights of a rock 'n' roll auction today. More than 400 items of rock 'n' roll and entertainment memorabilia are on the block at Christie's in Manhattan. Other items include Elvis Presley's U-S Army trenchcoat, an album cover signed by Bob Dylan and Britney Spears' grade school book report.

Here's how it turned out:

NEW YORK (AP) _ A Britney Spears' book report is worth $1,900. That's what someone paid for a report Spears did as a child on the book "Raymond's Run.'' It was sold over the weekend in an auction in New York. It was expected to bring in less than a thousand dollars. A cherry-red Gibson guitar George Harrison used on The Beatles' "Revolver'' album and later lent to John Lennon for "The White Album'' sold for $567K. A two-page letter Kurt Cobain faxed to Courtney Love while he was tripping sold for $19K.
