The book is a collection of 240 photographs of Starr's that also serves as an autobiography through the photo captions.

"[1] [6] Starr thought he had lost the photographs he took, but found them including two boxes of negatives in storage in a basement while looking for material for a Grammy Museum exhibit.

[3][7] Some of these photographs were displayed at the National Portrait Gallery in London starting 9 September 2015 to coincide with the release of the mass edition.

This edition as well as a limited edition of sets of photographic prints were initially released for sale at the gallery, but later became available in book shops on 21 September 2015.
