From the publisher's website (www link as at 3 November 2020):

Just as the Beatles were gaining popularity in England, George Harrison visited his sister Louise in the US. While visiting Southern Illinois, George found out that the Beatles had achieved record sales of their new hit, She Loves You, in England. George purchased one of the guitars he later used to play with the Beatles while in Southern Illinois. While here, he played with a local group, The Four Vests, at a VFW where it was said that George might make a good group member. The first Beatles record ever played in the US was played in Southern Illinois during George's visit. Before He Was Fab recounts these events - and much more! With the help of George's sister, Louise, Jim Kirkpatrick has extensively researched George Harrison's visit to provide a fascinating account of the early Beatle days.

Highlights include:

• Extensively documented account of George's visit.
• Foreword by Louise Harrison, George's sister.
• 32 rare photographs.

Cover price: $14.99.
