She’s Not a Girl Who Misses Much
The publication of this book has had it’s release date pushed back a few times. I spoke to Helen Anderson, who was John and Cynthia’s Art College classmate, and she told me that she believes that Michael Feeney Callan is doing an excellent job of research for the book. She was interviewed for the book and she believes in earnest, that it will be an excellent and informative title.
Looking forward to this book! The researcher is attempting to get the most thorough portrayal of the subject matter and this takes both time and perseverance.

Here, for the first time, is an intimate look inside the Beatles and their relationships with their muses, the women who shared the Beatles’ lives from their teens, through Beatle-mania to the breakup. In evaluating the lives of these storied women, the book charts unrecorded collaborations and the startlingly revelatory autobiographical nature of the band’s most famous songs. It also unfolds as an eye-opening alternative history of the forces that brought the Beatles together and ultimately tore them apart.

Apple Records being based at Savile Row put The Beatles right in the heart of London. But it also brought the heart of the music business to The Beatles, as they not only made the news, they were actually right at the centre, making and orchestrating it, creating trends, and turning ideas and new thoughts into reality. This colourful world was one that largely remained behind that locked door at No3.
What has been achieved by the publication of Inside No3 was that that door was opened to show the world a small part of that hitherto hidden world, via part of my collection carefully assembled via letters, memos, records, and memorabilia, that we will delve deeper Inside No3 via the second book.
Following on from the Our First Four presentation, I have the pleasure in showing some further marketing pieces and Memorabilia offered to the world via Apple Records.

Inside No3 takes you through that famous door, deep into the minds of all who worked there at Apple Records. This is done also in a very different way. This is not a kiss-and-tell diary, it is through fan adulation and understanding via a personal collection of artifacts and memorabilia that author Nigel Pearce has built up over the last 50 years.

Often, books can get listed on such booksellers as Amazon that never become a reality. I remember contacting the author of this book several years ago asking him when the book was going to be released. He wrote back to me saying that he had rejected doing the book and it was not going to be issued after all.
I remember being very disappointed as Pete Nash is an excellent Beatles collector and I am sure it would have been a wonderful and interesting release. Over the years I have bought several wonderful collectors items from Pete including a signed Pauline Lennon book about her husband, Freddie Lennon.
Pete notified Amazon according to his email that the book was not going to be published, yet the notification of the book remains on the Amazon UK site several years later. Hope they update the listing so fans will not be disappointed in attempting to order a copy.

The Beatles Collected is the illustrated story of The Beatles told through the products we bought and collected. Beautifully photographed and designed The Beatles Collected includes record sleeves and labels, promotional material, concert and film artefacts and advertising and the whole gamut of Beatles merchandise from guitars, plastic models, clothes, wigs and even Beatles mothballs] The book covers everything from the rare and expensive to items produced in their millions. Of interest to both serious collectors and those baby boomers who remember owning Beatles bubblegum cards, original albums on Veejay or Swan or even a diecast yellow submarine]
Any books that you would like to see published that haven’t been yet? Let me know in the comments.
A truly exhaustive and marvelous, thorough 600+ page book that will delight you with the turn of every page. Beautiful color photographs throughout the book. Enough information here for a lifetime. Apcor Books never ceases to amaze me with the research and quality of their Beatles book catalog.
A brief excerpt from the Acetates Chapter in the book.
This is yet another amazing book that covers such an important part of Beatles history, including the rarest of records.
Which would you choose as the most important?

Below is a photo of the Beatles along with Yoko Ono that was used on the picture sleeve of “The Ballad of John and Yoko”. The song only featured two Beatles playing on the track-John and Paul and it mentions Peter Brown.
Below is an autograph and a message from Peter Brown, the Apple executive who phoned John to tell him that he and Yoko could get married in Gibraltar. The signature below features the line of Brown’s that John used in the “Ballad of John and Yoko”. (You can make it OK)
Peter Brown and author Steven Gaines have a new print surprise in store for us in the near future (2024) This new book is mentioned at the end of this post.
The first book written by Peter Brown and Steven Gaines detailing the story of the Beatles. The book was a worldwide commercial success.
As a follow-up to their first book, Gaines and Brown are coming out with a new book dealing with many of the interviews they conducted to compile “The Love You Make.”
Looking forward to reading the full interviews of many of the characters that will tell their story in the following title. The new title promises much new information that has not previously been published.
The book will be published by St. Martin’s Press on April 9, 2024
