I did learn some extras from this book (as apposed to the doc) but nothing special.

The LP and its memorable cover put the location on the map - previously known as plain old EMI studios, the building became known as Abbey Road Studios in light of this landmark album. Millions of people have made the pilgrimage to the crossing to have their photo taken and to pay their respects to the genius of the Fab Four and dozens of artists have parodied the sleeve, from The Simpsons to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

How could this not be totally engrossing. It's the chronological history of a recording studio that everybody born in the last century is familiar with.
