On July 9 a John Lennon encyclopedia will appear in bookstores and kiosks. The publication is to commemorate the musician's 60's birthday. It was compiled and edited by Lennon archive specialist Bill Harry, who had met the Beatle while working on the book "Merseybeat," and followed the life of the star. Harry still keeps close contact with Lennon's relative, Stan Parks. According to the words of the author of the book, the publication includes many "important life facts," many of which are unknown today. For example, a lot of attention is given to the number 9, and how it affected Lennon's life. "John had a special interested in this number," Bill Harry says. "He was born on the 9, and every important event in his life happened on the 9th. He also met Yoko Ono on the 9th of November, and the number pursued him throughout his life." That is exactly why the publication is scheduled for July 9.
