Here are a few tips to enhance your experience.
Our story is told with words, images and sound. So I recommend you enjoy the book on the largest computer screen and best audio equipment available to you. Using your phone is okay too but – believe me – you will enjoy the book more on a computer screen with good audio.
Once you’re in the book, make yourself familiar with the ‘dashboard’ at the bottom of the screen. There are 5 controls to master:
- To get the best view, click on the icon at the bottom right – the book will fill up your screen.
- The next icon to the left allows you to experience the book with sound. Definitely worthwhile to turn it on!
- To turn the pages – forwards or backwards – just click on the arrows at the bottom center.
- If you’re the type who likes ‘auto-pilot,’ there’s an icon on the left side of the arrows which will automatically flip the pages for you.
- The final icon on the left allows you to zoom in on any pages you like.
We’ve also installed a link at the end of the book which makes it easy for you to let us know what you thought of “Becoming Sgt. Pepper”. You can also use the comment section below this text to share your thoughts.
Click the icons below to go to the first book (Becoming Sgt. Pepper), the second book (Mad Days Out) or the third book (The Beatles The End).
Thanks again for your interest. Enjoy the ride!

Sincere thanks for your help Nazaret! We hope to have the Spanish version on our site before Christmas. Will let you know when it is on-line. M
Hello from France.
Just one word for your job : Bravo!
Hello from Paris Regis! I wrote most of ‘Becoming Sgt. Pepper’ last year from here.
I’m very happy you liked the book. It was truly a team effort with contributions from America, Europe and China.
We’ve started writing the second book in our trilogy. It will focus on the Beatles activities during 1967 & 1968.
Please feel free to tell your friends about our book and thanks again for your comment.

I was never fortunate enough to see them in person. This book has brought them to me in a new way. Thank you for the insight into their lives, the struggles, the sadness towards the end of their touring. So sad to know how terribly they were treated when all they wanted was to bring people together through their music and words. I will share the book with everyone who shares the same passion I had and STILL have for the Beatles. Thank you again, I will go back and read this again and again to relive the Beatles as I now feel I know them better.
Hi Nancy!
Sorry I didn’t reply sooner. I’ve been working on the 2nd book in our Beatles trilogy!
The closest I got to seeing the Beatles in person was thru the eyes of my older sister. She had the luck to see them at Shea Stadium in 1965. I can still remember the photos she took at the concert. Wish I knew where those photos were now 🙂
I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the book. We made it for everyone who loves the Beatles. It’s meant as a gift to be shared freely.
Thanks again.

That was a lovely ride. Reliving the chronology was a lot of fun. Listening to the singles with headphones was a blast. Love the breakdown of the last tour. It shows what a drag it had become for them to continue with live performance.
I was 6 when I saw them on Sullivan in ’64 and I’ve been obsessed with them ever since. I know them inside out and they still astound me.
I tell people all the time: Why the Beatles?
Because no one else in recorded history has ever achieved and maintained such a consistent level of excellence and creativity in their specified field as The Beatles did for those 7 years. Period.
Paul,
Forgive me if I’ve already replied to your comment. But I still wanted to thank you for your kind words.
We must be nearly the same age because I was eleven when I watched them on Sullivan in February ’64. The memory is still fresh in my mind!
I’ve started writing the 2nd book in our Beatles trilogy and hope to have it out by 2022. In the meantime, please feel free to share the book with anyone else you know who loves the Beatles. The book is meant as a gift to be freely shared!
Thanks again.

That was a fantastic book depicting the awarding and emotionally draining of the Beatles years leading up to their end of turing and reinventing themselves as a mega group that transcends eras.
Hi Dean,
Glad you liked the book and appreciate that you took the time to leave a comment. Our focus was – as you said – to capture the experience that led them to stop touring.
Please feel free to share the book with friends.
