FAQ's
Why does the book have so many pages?
Originally we thought there would be about 300 to 350 Beatles|Beatles-related copyrights in the Library of Congress from 1963-1966. We were allocating a page or so for each with descriptions and other information. What wasn't anticipated was the fact that there were actually 967 copyrights!
How long did the research take for the book?
We researched over four years to try to find all of the copyrights and related information for the book. It was one of those labors of love, and it seemed that every time we thought we'd found every we could, another bit of material would pop up. This subject is amazing!
Did we see QR codes on some of the pages?
Yes! Some of the novelty records listed in the book have audio out on additional sites. We have chosen a few to add QR codes, so that you can scan and experience the music.
Any last thoughts?
The books are being released in collaboration with Imagine & Wonder Publishing and their goldenage60s site. I hope everyone enjoys this project. I'm not sure if I wrote a book, a reference guide, or an encyclopedia!
