- Summary:
- "Having first known him back in the days when he was known only as the 'quiet Beatle,' I am thrilled to no end that George's inner journey has now been so splendidly chronicled."
- "In Working Class Mystic we see George Harrison, not as a self-indulgent super-celebrity, but as an idealist who retained his humanity and set an example for all of us by sharing his blessings with others. Gary Tillery and Quest Books have done a real service to Harrison's legacy as an artist of enduring value and a man whose ideals remain timeless."
- "Tillery has captured George's spiritual odyssey, enabling us to journey with the author to unlock the secrets, move aside the veil, and gain remarkable insight. An invaluable companion to Tillery's recent work on John Lennon, The Cynical Idealist."
- "Often referred to as the 'Quiet One,' George Harrison is given full voice in Gary Tillery's compact yet highly enlightening Working Class Mystic. Ultimately uplifting and a great read." Book jacket.
