Would you pay a hundred bucks for a book? What about one by former Beatle Paul McCartney that details the full story behind every one of his famous compositions? Paul's new tome, "The Lyrics," is divided in two parts, both delivered together for the price, and will be out in November. 

"McCartney recounts his life and art through the prism of songs from all stages of his career – from his earliest boyhood compositions through the legendary decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his solo albums to the present.

"Arranged alphabetically to provide an impressionistic rather than chronological account, the two volumes establish definitive texts of the songs’ lyrics for the first time and describe the circumstances in which they were written, the people and places that inspired them, and what he thinks of them now.

"Presented with this is unearthed material from McCartney’s personal archive – drafts, letters, photographs – never seen before, making it a unique visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time."
