New on the shelves for Christmas, London Babylon (The Beatles and The
Stones in the Swinging Sixties) by Steve Overbury looks worthy of
your attention if you're a fan of the swinging decade.

Don't be put off by the title, according to the spiel, the book is
underpinned by the two bands, but also focuses on the 'bit-part
players' of the scene - dope dealers, art dealers, dolly birds,
drivers and slaves, fashionistas, villains and aristocrats - the in
crowd, the jet set, the jeunesse d'orée, along with others who shared
the limelight during that decade.

Read some of the book online at the book's
website http://www.londonbabylon.co.uk/
and if you like what you see, this 416-page large format book that's
'stuffed wth anecdotes, exotics and pictures' is available from
Amazon or direct from the author for £12.99.
