Page 3

The Flags Behind Paul you can see two crossed flags. This flag formation is typically seen at military funerals. Could this have any relevance to the man in front of them dressed in full military uniform?

The Sign In front of Paul there's a sign that reads 'I you WAS', or 'I WAS you'. What could this mean? Perhaps it could be implying that Paul was once one of us, a mere fan. If the sign is looked at upside down though it seems to be giving us the letters S.M.I. Could this stand for Severe McCartney Injuries?

The Desk I've been told in the past that the desk Paul is sitting at has been det up for a right-handed man. If that is the case then why was this done for a leftie? Perhaps the guy sitting at the desk isn't...

The Scar This was one of the first times where you could see the scar on McCartney's top lip. This scar appeared at the end of 1966 and was allegedly caused by the plastic surgery William Campbell underwent during the transformation.

The Hat
Why is Paul's hat crushed? Could this be a symbol representing Paul's head injuries in the crash?

The Wand
Paul is left handed, so why is he shown here with the wand in his right hand? I'm a leftie myself and I can vouch from experience that it doesn't feel natural to pick something up with the right hand - I always pick things up with my left.

Paul's Nose
Like the drawing in the gatefold of the album cover, Paul's nose is red and bruised. Could this again be referring to the bruising that's caued by plastic surgery? Perhaps William Campbell was still recovering from surgery when this photo was taken?

Page 5

The Men In White Behind the group there's a line of men dressed in white smocks and headcaps. These people look a lot like doctors or surgeons. Could they be representing the surgeons who tried to save Paul's life? Perhaps they're the surgeons who operated on William Campbell?

The Policemen On the structure behind the group there are four policemen standing in a line. Could this be referring to the police who arrived at the scene and surrounded the crash site?

The Bass Drum Another bass drum, another clue! If you look closely at the bass drum skin on the kit that Ringo's playing on it seems to be giving us the message 'Love the 3 Beatles'. Once again we're given the number 3 in retrospect to the Beatles. Why is this a reoccurance?

Page 6

The Board Behind John at the top you can see a board that says "The best way to go is by M&D Co'. Apparently 'M&D Co' is the name of a funeral parlour in London - a subtle message of thanks to the people who conducted Pauls funeral? One other thing worth mentioning (not strictly a PiD clue but is still eerie nonetheless) is that MDC are the exact initials of the person who assassinated John in 1980 - Mark David Chapman.

The Departure Time Behind John above the MDC sign there's a timeboard that tells of a particular buses timetable. If you look at this board you can see that the depature time of '8.34' is visible whereas the arrival time is blank. Paul departed that night but never arrived.

Page 7

Ringo's Message In the first frame of the page Aunt Jessie is holding Ringo by his feet and is saying "You've gone too far." Could this be Ringo telling that we've come too far because the most blatant clue is earlier on in the book?

Ringo's Silenced In the very next frame we're shown Ringo again, but this time his speech bubble is blank. After what he said before, perhaps Ringo has been silenced for telling us too much?

No Shoes In frame three there is a drawing of Paul wearing no shoes.

The L Plate Directly underneath this image of Paul wearing no shoes we can see an 'L plate'. In the UK, these L plates are put on the cars of learner drivers so that other drivers are aware that they are only learning. Could this Paul therefore be a learner?

The Departure Time Also in the third frame you see this unusual image. It's of a group singing the line 'Good Morning' (remember the song 'Good Morning, Good Morning) on the Sgt. Pepper LP?), but there's five members. Who is the fifth? Perhaps the fifth was a replacement for the member sporting angel wings?

The Driver In the last frame of the page we're shown the face of a guilt-ridden man thinking "I was the driver." Could this be symbolising the possible guilt of the driver of the yellow lorry driver whom Paul smashed his car into?

Page 8

The Skull Page 8 is the only page to show us something not seen in the film. Here we see the cast and crew taking part in a big dinner. If this photo is turned 90 degrees clockwise the image of a skull appears. Why the image of death?

---

Page 9

The Cracked Head In the second frame of this page we see Paul standing next to the song title 'Fool on the Hill'. However, the tail of the second L extends down and splits Paul's head in half. A symbolism of the head injuries that Paul sustained in the car crash? It could be why he has his eyes closed...

The Head In the third frame we see the decapitated head of a very pale and dead looking Paul. His hand also looks like it has broken fingers. Could these be referring to the broken fingers and decapitation in the story?

The Bruised Nose In the fifth frame Paul has a bruised, red nose. Could this symbolising the facial bruising that plastic surgery causes?

The Location The text underneath the fifth frame contains the line "Ten miles north of the Dewsbury Road". This location is mentioned several times in the film but its importance is never disclosed. Could this possibly be where the car crash happened?

---

Page 10

No Teeth Paul is the only member who is not showing his teeth. If you look at the expressions of the other members it's almost like they're trying to show their teeth while Paul is making a conscious effort not to. Could this be symbolising Paul getting his teeth knocked out in the accident?

No Shoes As you can see, Paul is the only member who is not wearing any shoes.

---

Page 11

The Bottles In the fourth frame, just to the right of the chef with the bulbous nose there are four beer bottles. However, one of these bottles has the word 'Empty' written on the label. A representative of the four Beatles perhaps, and showing that one member is 'empty'?

---

Page 12-13

The Bass Drum Again, we can see Ringo playing his 'Love the 3 Beatles' bass drum.

The Shoes Paul is once again shown not wearing any shoes. However, this time we're treated to the sight of his footwear, just to the left of Ringo's bassdrum. Look closely, the shoes are smeared with blood. EMI have argued that this was merely a printing error, but if that was the case then why did the same error appear in every single booklet printed before it was discontinued? Why do McCartney's shoes have a bloodstain on them?
