Essentially, he wants to get the newest information about the book as possible. So there will be new information about Stuart Sutcliffe, the first visit to Hamburg in 1960 (thanks to the two German experts, The Beatles, Thorsten Knublauch Axel and Corinth), and the latest news from Star Club recordings.

By the way, here's an excellent article dealing with the sacking of Pete Best (an interesting addition to one of the five chapters of the book Fact and Fiction 1960-1962) which was recently published on the Comprehensive Beatles website:

Good news!!! In order to cut down on as much as possible the shipping costs, which do represent a significant percentage of the cost price of the book, especially for the customers living in Japan, Canada, U.S.A., South America as well as Australia, my publisher (Séguier/Atlantica) especially made a deal with Canadian distributor “La Canopée diffusion distribution” for its distribution in the aforementioned countries. Those who are interested to order the book Fact and Fiction, please don’t hesitate to contact John Davies at lacanopee_3@sympatico.ca and ask for shipping details in your country. (Just in case, here’s the postal address of La Canopée : 109, chemin du Sphinx, Saint Armand, Québec J0J 1T0).

Thank you very much.

All the best,

Eric

Thanks again!

Wow, am I glad I didn't have to deal with shipping in this case!

Wow, am I glad I didn't have to deal with shipping in this case!  

Yes Bobber, like all the European fans you were lucky enough to order the book with normal shipping costs, but I can tell you that those same shipping costs as far as America is concerned are rather significant, and they weigh heavily the final price of the book. Just to give you an example, I got some messages from American readers who told me that if they wanted to order the book, they would have to pay $ 70, which is rather disproportionate for a book which is only sold 25 Euros in Europe.

So, I am particularly glad to have found this agreement with La Canopée in Canada so that the people concerned in the aforementioned countries could buy the book at a reasonable price.

Thanks!

The shot that you can see on the following topic from www.yellow-sub.net was taken on Sunday 13 March 2011 at the London Beatles Day, near Russell Square. On the left is my co-author/friend Jean-Claude "Taxman" Hocquet (with whom I published in 2005 La France et les Beatles, volume one), and in the middle is the new reader of the book The Beatles: Fact and Fiction 1960-1962 who is no one else but Hunter Davies, 75, first official Beatles’ biographer.

Good news !
In order to get a better idea of the contents of the Fact and Fiction book (which was voted “book of the year 2010” in Germany), the publisher Atlantica/Séguier decided to maintain the “interactive reading” link so that you’ll get the possibility to read at least the first 48 pages of the book.
So, after having clicked on the main link, go and click on the “Union Jack” picture, then the book will appear. The only thing left for you is to click on the corners to turn pages.

Hi Friends,

I have the pleasure telling you that I’ll be present at the next ‘London Beatles Day’ (address : Doubletree By Hilton London West End. Southampton Row, WC1B 4BH London. Underground : Russell Square or Holborn) on Sunday 4 March 2012. I will come along with my long time friend Joachim Noske, author of the critically acclaimed book The Beatles Covered – A Pictorial Journey Through Beatles Record Sleeves From Around The World (2009). We’ll be very pleased to welcome you on this occasion and sign some books while having a friendly drink together !

Thank you very much, and see you maybe on Sunday in London!

Hi all,

It was wonderful to see all these Beatle fans there last sunday. Thank you very much all for coming. Just to remind you that the next ‘London Beatles Day’ will be held on Sunday July 29th 2012 (the very start of the Olympic Games) at the same venue (Doubletree By Hilton London West End Hotel, Southampton Row, WC1B 4BH London. Underground : Russell Square or Holborn) and I’ll be pleased to welcome you again if you happen to pass by London on that Summer day.

Moreover, in order to satisfy your many internet requests and to make things easier for those of you who might like to find the book somewhere in London during the rest of the year, I would like to inform you that I intentionally left some copies of Fact & Fiction 1960-1962 at the ‘London Beatles Store’ (231/233 Baker Street) and at ‘St John’s Wood Collectables’, 2 Violet Hill (4 minutes only from Abbey Road studios at St John’s Wood).

If you happen to have any difficulties in getting the book though, please send me a personal message.

Thank you very much and have a nice week-end.
