When Gary first acquired the book, he was seized by an irresistible curiosity. Who was Brian Epstein, really? And who were all these fascinating names? This project offers an intimate and unprecedented exploration of the connections he forged and the figures who helped define a generation.

More than just an address book, it is a time capsule of one of the most electrifying years in modern culture: 1967.

Perfect for Beatles fans, music historians, and anyone curious about the electric culture and untold stories of the 1960s.

'This incredibly clever book is like an alternative history of Swinging London, a pop cultural detective story that sheds new light on a period which continues to fascinate all of us. I loved it.' Dylan Jones

"This is an Encyclopedia of a time and a place that makes you jealous you weren't there and appreciate how close we are to it. This book's pleasures are vast and delicious. Captures The Beatles and what London must have really felt like at the time: The center of the world." Paul Thomas Anderson

'What a good idea this is. Brilliantly researched and put together; packed with stuff that a Fabs nut can pore over for hours...' Martin Freeman
