WPLives 19th Apr 2022		Book Thomas E. Uharriet - The Memoirs Of Billy Shears	The Memoirs of Billy Shears, the unofficial memoirs of Paul McCartney, was created with the talents of poet-encoder, Thomas E. Uharriet, and has a foreword by Gregory Paul Martin (eldest son of “5th Beatle” George Martin). Gregory knew the original Paul personally, and also knows the current Paul. The Memoirs of Billy Shears is packed with historically significant disclosure about the Beatles, and about the elite who placed that band on the world stage to launch their global agendas. Crafted with poetic brilliance, this book conveys the historical message utilizing multiple methods of encoding and decoding to uncover gnostic, numerological, mythological, and cultic symbology with layered meaning that pulls you in deeper with each reading. This 2021 single-volume edition has the same disclosures as the box set, but without the color printing, and without the acrostical decoding booklet. This 666-page book (along with extra pages in the back for notes) is a lot for one paperback spine to hold together. Some readers (especially those who have read it several times) wished the spine were stronger. For a stronger spine, consider the hardcover box set found at www.MemoirsOfPaul.com. The Memoirs of Billy Shears is also on Audible. Gregory Paul Martin recorded it using the original recording equipment that his father had used with the Beatles at Abbey Road Studios. That equipment is now located at the prestigious British Grove Studios. While Gregory recorded this book, it seemed as though Paul were telling the story through him. Sitting at that same equipment that the Beatles had used to record their songs, Gregory felt—on several occasions in the recording process—that he himself had actually become Paul. “Considering the subject matter,” Gregory said, “it felt uncanny.” For the most astonishing experience of The Memoirs of Billy Shears, many readers go through it several times. On your first time through it, we recommend ignoring the acrostic, word-stacking, and footnotes. Instead, focus on the story and song meanings—especially on the meanings that are not permitted in the official memoirs. In subsequent readings, add the word-stacking, acrostic, and finally, the footnotes. That approach changes the book so dramatically that adding the notes makes it feel like a sequel. The book transforms as it initiates the reader! The audiobook, without the distractions of word-stacking, the acrostic, or the footnotes, is especially helpful for your first few times through the book! Although we cannot say for sure that Gregory was, as it seemed, possessed by Paul McCartney when he recorded The Memoirs of Billy Shears, we can say that hearing Gregory read it creates an experience beyond the printed book. It seems mystical. For more about the audiobook, go to www.MemoirsOfPaul.com and click on FREE AUDIO. This edition, with its 180 footnotes, is a significant improvement over the earlier version found at https://jpaulmccartney.com/the-nine-after-9-09-edition-of-the-memoirs-of-billy-shears. Brace yourself for a shocking shift in consciousness. Whether you experience the Memoirs of Billy Shears as the audiobook (edited and narrated by Gregory Paul Martin), or as the Kindle digital book (that likewise does not include theacrostic, word-stacking, or footnotes), or as the hardcover box set (which comes with a free copy of Billy Shears Acrostical Decoding), or as this paperback edition, it will change how you see the world. You will never again see Paul McCartney, the Beatles, Wings, or the whole world, in quite the same way. In whatever ways The Memoirs of Billy Shears comes for you, it is coming to take you away on the amazing tour of the Beatles' magical mystery! NOT THE PROPER DESCRIPTION FOR THIS EDITION
WPLives 19th Apr 2022		Book Edward A. Berlin - Ragtime: A Musical And Cultural History	Ragtime, the jaunty, toe-tapping music that captivated American society from the 1890s through World War I, forms the roots of America's popular musical expression. But the understanding of ragtime and its era has been clouded by a history of murky impressions, half-truths, and inventive fictions. Ragtime: A Musical and Cultural History cuts through the murkiness. A methodical survey of thousands of rags along with an examination of then-contemporary opinions in magazines and newspapers demonstrate how the music evolved and how America responded to it. "The most complete available discussion of ragtime" (Floyd & Reisser, Black Music in the United States).
WPLives 19th Apr 2022		Book Raymond Roussel - Impressions Of Africa	A veritable literary melting pot, Roussel's groundbreaking text makes ample use of wordplay and the surrealist techniques of automatic writing and private allusion The first and arguably more well known of Roussel's two major prose works, Impressions of Africa is not, as the title may suggest, a conventional travel account. Instead, it's one of the greatest experimental novels of all time—an adventure story put together in a highly individual fashion and with an extremely unusual time sequence—within which the reader is even made to choose whether they would like to begin at the first or the tenth chapter. It's also the only edition currently in print of a major French modern classic that was a great influence on the Surrealist movement.

WPLives 10th Jan 2022		Book George W. Hilton - The Electric Interurban Railways In America	From the Inside Flap One of the most colorful yet neglected eras in American transportation history is re-created in this definitive history of the electric interurbans. Built with the idea of attracting short-distance passenger traffic and light freight, the interurbans were largely constructed in the early 1900s. The rise of the automobile and motor transport caused the industry to decline after World War I, and the depression virtually annihilated the industry by the middle 1930s. Part I describes interurban construction, technology, passenger and freight traffic, financial history, and final decline and abandonment. *Part II* presents individual histories (with route maps) of the more than 300 companies of the interurban industry. Reviews “A first-rate work of such detail and discernment that it might well serve as a model for all corporate biographies. . . . A wonderfully capable job of distillation.” —Trains “Few economic, social, and business historians can afford to miss this definitive study.” —Mississippi Valley Historical Review “All seekers after nostalgia will be interested in this encyclopedic volume on the days when the clang, clang of the trolley was the most exciting travel sound the suburbs knew.” —Harper’s Magazine “A fascinating and instructive chapter in the history of American transportation.” —Journal of Economic History “The hint that behind the grand facade of scholarship lies an expanse of boyish enthusiasm is strengthened by a lovingly amassed and beautifully reproduced collection of 37 photographs.” —The Nation
WPLives 10th Jan 2022		Book Jim Walker - The Los Angeles Railway; Yellow Cars	Local rail-borne transit in Los Angeles began with horsecars in 1874, evolving with cable-powered and later electric-powered passenger vehicles. "Yellow Cars" describes the principal local transit system in and around Los Angeles in the first half of the 20th century. The canary-colored local streetcars formed the inner-neighborhood lines between a vast rail network of main lines known as the "interurban" system, primarily the Pacific Electric Railway "Red Cars," which spiderwebbed throughout Los Angeles County and into Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. Rail tycoon Henry Edwards Huntington consolidated several independent lines into this great interurban empire. He sold it in 1910 to the Southern Pacific Railroad, keeping the Los Angeles Railway Yellow Cars. These evocative photographs illustrate travel during decades of change, progress, economic setbacks, war, and postwar retrenchment, when streetcar service was taken over by bus lines.
