The UK government should buy it and make it a free Beatles museum.

This book is magnificently detailed about the recording equipment used to make the Beatles' albums, when the engineers at Abbey Road wore lab coats and ties and drank grumpy pints of bitter at lunchtime.

I must be having a Flash problem or something on this high tech site, since each screen has a middle photo, but is annexed by these triangular "streaming" looking striped objects that obstruct other material. Anyone else?

The whole thing is a bit like a CD Rom from 1995. Fortunately the Beatles are infinitely more powerful than Google.
