That is such BS! (I’m pissed at Mark, not you) Mark said, in 2013, that part 2 was 40% finished!! We’ll all be dead by the time he gets to part 4 (if he lives that long!) 🤬
I share your frustration Nancy, I'm so looking forward to this book and yet the wait goes on and on and on. I'm pretty confident that it will appear in 2021 now.
Interesting to hear Mark's comments about the time span being covered in each of his remaining books:
Book 2: 1st January 1963 - 31st December 1966 / Book 3: 1st January 1967 - 31st December 1970 / Book 4 (assuming he writes one) : 1st January 1971 - 31st December 1974.
If Book 2 does come out in 2021 ( eight years after volume 1) and he continues at his current speed then Book 3 should be out in 2029 and Book 4 in 2037. Hmmm...I might just be still kicking about by then !!
Me too! I’ll be 74 in 2029 and 82 in 2037! My mom is still with us and will be 88 in November, and my dad lived to almost 90!

It'll be on the "must read" list at all the nursing homes!

A little update. Mark Lewisohn took part in a Q&A session with an audience at the Adelphi hotel, Liverpool earlier in the week and he confirmed that part 2 of the trilogy (which may end up being 4 books incidentally) won't be published in 2020 and that he hasn't even started to write it yet but he hopes to soon.
He also mentioned,almost in passing, that someone is writing a book about all of Paul's recording sessions. That certainly sounds interesting.
Mark's Q&A session is available in three parts on YouTube and can be seen & heard here:

I thought it was to be three volumes, titled like the famous 60's phrase but rearranged: Vol. 1 - Tune In, Vol. 2 - Turn On, and Vol. 3 - Drop Out. If he adds a Vol. 4, maybe he'll go into the After Break-Up years! And I certainly agree with the author, there's no need to rush this. Better to get it right! After all, to quote the great 70's Beatles' biographer Nicholas Schaffner - The Beatles Forever.

He’s no spring chicken! He just turned 60 in May!

It may well end up being the three volumes but he's leaving the option open of taking the story up to 31st December 1974 when the Beatles legally stopped being the Beatles.

So long as he lives long enough to get these books written
... he can do what he like after that !!
