As a Beatles fan of many years standing I've always felt that my knowledge of the Yellow Submarine animated feature film has been sadly lacking. However, your article on the background to, and production of, the film filled so many gaps for me. Thank you for delving into it and sharing your knowledge.
I'm friends with Dr. Bob Hieronimus and Laura Cortner who collaborated on the excellent two-volume series on the making of Yellow Submarine. The granular details are humbling and fascinating all of it due to, as you said, love!
I've not read the book, but I've now read your review of it and it looks fascinating. I'm sure it goes into detail on a question that fascinates me which is the role that art students from local colleges played in it. I must find a copy!
Bob and Laura sell both Vol 1 & 2 on their official website. You receive a special gift from Dr. Bob's personal YS collection by ordering direct, too. They are seriously lovely people!
The books look great and very interesting. Their shipping costs to the UK cost more than the books themselves! So I’ll mull over my options here. Maybe it’s a new trade tariff!
This is so interesting Mike! Great to find out how a combination of inventiveness, creative free-reign and that special location came together to create something that looks so classy even now. It could have gone terribly wrong in so many ways. Thanks for all that detail!

I do hope you can find an outlet for the UK. Let me know how things turn out!
I will. And thanks for pointing out the books to me.
