Well, thanks! Here's a brand new (and excellent) review by Chaz Lipp, contributor of The Morton Report. He calls the book "an essential reading for any serious Paul McCartney fan".

Thanks Stephen. It was a long journey...for years I've been collecting info and two were dedicated to the interviews... Around ten years!!
