Don McCullin was an acclaimed war photographer of the late twentieth century. The winner of numerous awards, including two Premier Awards from the World Press Photo, he became the only photojournalist to be made Commander of the British Empire. He is the author of several books and was awarded the 2006 Cornell Capa Award by the International Center for Photography in New York. Paul McCartney gained worldwide fame as a member of The Beatles and is listed in the Guinness World Records as the "most successful musician and composer in popular music history."
"These images of four inspired artists, at the pinnacle of their
success and on the cusp of transformation, mark a time of radical
cultural evolution. In these photos, culled from twenty rolls of
black-and-white film taken over the course of an afternoon and
ending as the evening shadows gathered, we can glimpse a moment in
time that forever changed the way we viewed ourselves and our place
in the world around us."

"The Beatles broke up 40 years ago, on Dec 31, but their unsinkable
legacy was buoyed last month when their songbook went on iTunes
while the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death put the band in
the headlines. "A Day in the Life of the Beatles" with text by Paul
McCartney, presents the band in the bloom of youth, in photos taken
by Don McCullin in 1968, not long before the release of the White
Album." "New York
Times, "City Edition
"Beatles fans who think they have everything will be happy to add
this to their collections." "Courier News
""The book is beautifully crafted, printed on heavy stock, slender
but satisfyingly hefty. For fans of the band who just can't get
enough of all things Beatles, it's well worth a look." PopMatters
