Editorial Reviews:
Paul McCartney: I Saw Him Standing There presents an insider's glimpse into the private persona of one of the world's greatest musician-singer-songwriters or our time. It has sure-fire, multigenerational appeal for the legions of fans who have followed the star's career for decades. All of the pictures in the book are the work of one professional photographer who has had unique access to McCartney from 1976 to the present. Her exclusive photos, taken during tours, record signings, private parties, press conferences, award ceremonies, backstage moments, and numerous personal encounters, show the many faces of McCartney-the musician, devoted husband, proud father, environmentalist, and animal rights activist. Revealing statements by the artist himself, lively accounts by many of his fans, and commentary by the author complete this remarkable chronicle of an internationally beloved entertainer.

Summary: He FELT Her Standing There
Comment: 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: Linda from Boulder, CO
Comment: This is an excellent, fun book for any fan who has ever attended a Macca concert and I have attended many. It is also fun for people who have yet to experience the thrill of having Paul wink at them or point at their sign. I don't consider myself a "wacko" or a "stalker". I just enjoy seeing Paul in concert and reading this book brings back many memories, including the story I wrote for the book about Liverpool on June 28, 1990.

Summary: Wow! To have been standing there
Comment: 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: Hmmmm
Comment: 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: A MUST for all Macca fans!
Comment: 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!!
