I just finished reading “What If?” I met David in Liverpool in 2016, we’re friends on FB and he’s a very knowledgeable guy about the Beatles, that’s why I was surprised at the number of errors and typos in this book. The one that really stuck out was writing that Mia & Prudence Farrow were mother & daughter! (they are of course sisters) If David would like a run-down of the mistakes, I can FB message him so future printings will be error-free.
Other than that, the book was an easy, interesting read.
Please FB David
