From the back cover:

On a scorching summer day in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton, the St. Peter's Parish Church Garden Fete was the setting for the first meeting of soon-to-be-seventeen John Lennon and just-turned-fifteen Paul McCartney. Rock journalist Jim O'Donnell thoroughly reconstructs the events of that day, both in Liverpool and in the world around it.

Beginning in the hours before dawn, O'Donnell tells the story of this historic meeting, and the deeper story of how each boy was brought to this moment when music took control of their lives. In the early evening, Paul pulled out his guitar and ran through a medley of tunes for John, impressing the young leader of the Quarry Men Skiffle Group with both his playing and his knowledge of rock music. One of the most important partnerships in the history of modern music was begun.

The Day John Met Paul is the story of two spirited boys on the brink of manhood who recognized a share passion, a feeling for music so intense and pure that their seemingly simple meeting ultimately changed the face of music - and the world.
