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!

Uncle Michael,
I’m very impressed by your efforts on the book! As a fan of the music, I enjoyed listening to so many familiar songs while also learning more about the story behind the Beatles – the individuals and the group. Look forward to seeing and hearing future volumes!
Colleen,
I’m genuinely touched by your comment. Thanks for taking the time to read our book. I know how busy you are. So I doubly appreciate that you took an extra moment to leave your comment.
I’m always especially happy when younger folks – like yourself – express their admiration for the Beatles’ music. It serves as proof that their music has passed the ‘test of time.’
Will keep you informed about our progress with the next instalment in our Beatles trilogy.
Please feel free to share the book with others.
Thanks again.

I consider myself one of the biggest Beatle fans in America with a collection of books and magazines covering their lives and careers and I found your book to be delightful. It was short and concise and having the ability to listen to their music as I read it was an extra added feature that I truly enjoyed. Today I am a musician and song writer because of them. Great job!!!
Phil,
“Being one of the biggest Beatle fans in America” is quite an ambitious claim. But now that I’ve gotten to know you a little bit, I would support that claim!
And anyone who can say that they saw the Beatles perform at both of their Shea Stadium concerts is certainly a hero in my eyes too.
Which makes your compliment even more meaningful to me. I really appreciate.
Thanks again.

Very cool concept,I never get tired of hearing, seeing or reading bout the Beatles. Very well done. Once again, this is evidence
of how incredible they were in such a short amount of time
Joe,
Happy New Year! Thanks for leaving your kind words. We clearly share a deep admiration for the Beatles.
Please feel free to share the book with friends and family.
Thanks again.

What a great piece of work …. something to be proud of!
Although I was never a true Beatles’ fan , I really enjoyed reading “Becoming Sgt. Pepper” and to learn more about these innovative pioneers in music. This documentary adds great context, making their songs more meaningful.
Congratulatuions with this legacy! Now wait for it to spread until it has reached all Beatle fans in the world.

Erik,
It makes me proud when someone tells me they weren’t a true Beatles fan – but they still enjoyed the book. My original reason for writing the book was to leave something for those folks who never knew the group or their music.
I’m also proud to hear such compliments from the Netherlands! Did you know that the Beatles only performed twice in your beautiful country? On June 6th 1964 they performed two shows in the village of Blokker. And both of those shows were performed with a substitute drummer (Jimmy Nicols) because Ringo was back in England sick with tonsillitis!
Prior to performing the two concerts, The Beatles toured the canals of Amsterdam in a glass-topped tourist boat. 50,000 people turned out to see them, and all 15,000 of the city’s police officers were on duty to handle the crowd.
Not sure we will ever reach all the Beatle fans in the world. But I’m glad we reached you. Please feel free to share our book with your friends & family.
Thanks again.
