There is a new book on George out in the UK called Behind the Locked Door. Have any of our UK board members read it yet?

New? Elliot Huntley wrote a book by that title that came out in 2002. I never saw it, but read this on the discussion page for Wikipedia: "And rather than him being a writer who appears to research his subject thoroughly, I'm afraid I've found a lot of examples where Huntley's lifted text from others' work, almost verbatim, and presented it as his own work. (Eg, compare Huntley's discussion of the My Sweet Lord court case with the article by Joseph Self which appears under External Links in the My Sweet Lord article.)" I just found out about this book, and the possible plagiarism of my article (ironically, on plagiarism) in the past week or so. Maybe it's a different book, or perhaps a reissue? JcS

JcS Joey: I have the book. It's by Graeme Thomson. Got it from Amazon.co.uk. He doesn't mention you anywhere that I can find. He does mention the lawsuit, though I couldn't tell if it was sourced from you.

Different book, then. I double-checked and the one from 2002 is BEHIND THAT LOCKED DOOR, not BEHIND THE LOCKED DOOR.

I saw this book in Tokyo the other day and had a glance. The first thing I noticed was a page with two photos obviously from the Star Club in 1962 labelled as "The Top-Ten Club, 1961", so that's already a fail for me...
