Vikki Reilly has worked in bookselling and publishing for twenty years. She was struck down by Beatlemania, thanks to her best friend's big brother's record collection and a C-90 cassette, when she was thirteen years old and hasn't been the same since. As a student, she got a job in Virgin Megastore by discussing Ringo Starr's backward fills, and - later in life - only managed the last fifteen miles of the West Highland Way by singing the Beatles back catalogue in chronological order. This is her first book.
