Summary: Hmmmm
Review: After believing the hype and rushing to buy this book, I feel quite dissatisfied. In my opinion, there are only 2 pictures in the whole book. One of Paul performing, and the other of Paul and Linda kissing, which was the only picture in the book that was in any way different than anything else I've ever seen. Sorry, there was a third picture of the author as well. The stories were not too exciting or interesting, and the text is boring. I wish I had waited to thumb through it in the store. Oh well, I will know better the next time.

Summary: Linda from Boulder, CO
Review: Great Pictures, great format.
Ms. Gracen gives us a fly on the wall view of McCartney's touring days. Closeups and rare photos. Well put together and an endless parade of snapshots. Perfect coffee table book. If you put this on your coffee table with ten other books it's almost guaranteed that this is the one your guests will pick up.

Summary: PAUL McCARTNEY, WE LOVE YOU DO!
Review: I really love this book. Jorie B. Gracen is an outstanding photographer and, like Paul's late wife, Linda Eastman McCartney treats her work and subjects with respect.She has wonderful anecdotes with each photograph and in reading this delightful book, you feel as if you are taking a trip down Red Rose Speedway with Paul McCartney! This is SUCH a treat! I really love it! I have had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Gracen and hearing her speak. She has an incredible collection of photographs of the former Beatle and his immediate family that make for a very special experience indeed. Jorie B. Gracen also has a strong social conscience. She has contributed to breast cancer reasearch as a nod to Paul's late wife, Linda, who died from the illness in April of 1998. This generous gesture makes the work even more poignant; Gracen and Linda also shared a profession and an interest. Just knowing this makes one respect Gracen all the more. Please read this book. The photographs are outstanding. You will be very glad that you did.

Summary: PAUL FANS, THIS BOOK IS A MUST!!SHOOTING STARS TO YOU JORIE
Review: It will be very hard to find the right words to describe the pictures in this book, but I will try!! Jorie Gracen was able to CAPTURE PAUL THE WAY I SEE HIM!!!!!Her pictures are the BEST PICTURES I HAVE EVER SEEN OF PAUL!!! If you are a Paul McCartney fan you will love the way the author/photographer is able to make you feel like you are sitting in the FRONT ROW!! She has great little stories to go with each photo, what is going on at that moment, the song he is singing. There are also some great interviews and stories from fans just like us that have seen Paul in concert or had the opportunity to meet him in person. For me it was a way to see all of the magic and excitement surrounding this great musician and man! I think another thing that is so admirable about Ms. Gracen is that she will be donating percentages of HER own personal money to Breast Cancer Research in memory of Linda. I feel that not only does her EXTRAORDINARY TALENT shine through as a FIRST RATE PHOTOGRAPHER with this book, but also her geniune love and respect for Paul and Linda.

Summary: Simply FABULOUS!!!!
Review: Jorie Gracen's book on Paul McCartney has some good photo's but I found it very disapointing. It seemed as if most of the pictures could have been taken for such magazines like the Globe or Star. Although there are a few wonderful pictures, overall I would think anyone with a camera who was able to get close to Paul McCartney could take pictures like the ones featured in this book. To say Ms. Gracen's photos are like the late Linda McCartney is a far out lie! Gracen's photos are nothing like Linda's. If you are a fan of McCartney and like to look at photos of him this isn't a bad book, but if you want to look at quality photos of him, skip this book an buy a book by Linda McCartney.

Summary: A MUST for all Macca fans!
Review: Jorie Gracen's tome should be absorbed as slowly as possible for maximum " Macca Effect". She falwlessly captures both the essence of the man, his music, and his incrdible concert presence
with 35 millimeter magnificence. The talent, determination and sheer hard work of the superb photojournalist is overwhelmingly present in every frame. This book shou;ld be considered required reading for all the Maccamaniacs out there. Only physical presence at one of Paul's sold-out engagements could be more captivating. Great work, Jorie!!

Summary: He FELT Her Standing There
Review: This book is a wonderful collection of Memories of many Magical Moments in the presence of Paul McCartney. The pictures span two and a half decades of devoted work. The author and Mr. McCartney connect in several of these pics,and he hams it up for her. Who but someone so tuned in to him, could capture these moments??. Linda McCartney appreciated Jorie Gracen and her work...what else needs to be said.? I highly recommend this book and hope that Ms. Gracen will put out another collection following his recent world tours.Anyone who appreciates Paul will thouroughly enjoy this book!!!!!!!!!

Summary: First Class McCartney
Review: This book is probably one of the finest photographic accounts of Paul McCartney. The other ex-Beatles (that are still with us) should be so lucky! Ms. Gracen has done a wonderful service to all of us McCartney fans, by sharing her talents and fortitude to get the right photo, sometimes under very extreme circumstances. The selection of her photos were made to be a book. The accounts of the various fans and venues was very entertaining. Also, the layout and design of the book is very professional, no shortcuts here! Anyone who has seen the Beatles in concert, Paul and his various bands, I really recommend Jorie's book. It takes you back and makes you smile and remember all of the wonderful music this legend has given tp us over the years! Well done, Jorie!!

Summary: Paul McCartney - I saw him standing
Review: This book is WONDERFUL!!. If you're a Beatles &/or Paul McCartney fan, this book is a must have. I have many Beatles & McCartney books, but this is by far the best collection of pictures and stories I have seen.
Congratulations to Jorie Gracen, what great photos. Wish I was as lucky as you, having the opportunity to photograph so many celebrities. But there is only one, great, Sir Paul McCartney. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see pictures of his recent USA Driving Rain tour 2002. You go girl!!
