Alistair Taylor worked with the Beatles almost without a break until they split up. He was hired by Brian Epstein to be his assistant and eventually became general manager of Apple. In a series of letters to an imaginary friend and fan, Michelle, he tells the story of his years as "Mr. Fixit", as he was known to the Beatles. It was he who arranged the getaways from airports and concert halls, eluding crowds of screaming fans. He witnessed the recording sessions, the tours and the business meetings and performed such personal services as shopping (whatever it was, a house for George or an island off the Irish coast for John), or orchestrated meetings with girlfriends. The book is mainly about the good times and the sheer fun of being with the Beatles when they were at their peak.
