Excellent

An excellent book for anyone who loves the history of Paul McCartney after The Beatles broke up. It’s basically interviews starting from 1968 through 2009. I really enjoyed it very much.

Beatle-maniac

Paul can do no wrong in my estimation. A musical genius and a really nice guy. I absolutely enjoyed this book.

I enjoy Paul’s personality

He gets better with age. He was always an eye and ear catcher but I prefer his mature age to his youth

Only one Paul!

Did not disappoint! Loved every minute - just wish there was more of it! Thanks, Paul!

Audio only

This is a great compilation of different interviews. No other way to listen than the direct audio from him.
