It also reportedly has quite a few mistakes in it regarding events that occurred with the Fabs. IIRC Emerick states that Paul recorded "Blackbird" outside and the sound was a real blackbird-and neither is true.

It is a valuable tool though but evidently Emerick ticked off a lot of friends, associates, etc. that worked with him at Abbey Road including producer/engineer Ken Scott.
