==''Here, There and Everywhere''==
In 2006, Emerick released his memoir, ''Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles'', co-authored by music journalist Howard Massey.{{sfn|Womack|2014|p=257}} The book caused controversy for its factual errors,<ref>{{cite book|last=Rodriguez|first=Robert|title=Revolver: How The Beatles Reimagined Rock 'n' Roll|year=2012|publisher=Backbeat Books|location=Milwaukee, WI|pages=98–99}}</ref> its allegedly unfavourable portrayal of Harrison,<ref name="Weber">{{cite web|last=Weber Torkelson|first=Erin|url=https://beatlebioreview.wordpress.com/2016/06/23/the-normal-version-of-beatles-history/#more-197 |title=The 'Normal' Version of Beatles History|publisher=The Historian and The Beatles|date=23 June 2016|access-date=6 March 2018|ref=none}}</ref> bias towards McCartney,<ref>{{cite book|last=Weber|first=Erin Torkelson|title=The Beatles and the Historians: An Analysis of Writings About the Fab Four|publisher=McFarland|location=Jefferson, NC|year=2016|isbn=978-1-4766-6266-4|pages=201–02}}</ref> and belittling and dismissal of Harrison and Starr's contributions.<ref name="GuardianObit"/> According to Beatles biographer Robert Rodriguez, Emerick's recurring theme that Harrison lacked prowess as a guitar player until the late 1960s is more reflective of Emerick's personality, and is countered by several other sources, and some of his descriptions of the Beatles' recordings are negated by the availability of [[Bootleg recording|bootleg]] compilations of the band's multitrack masters.{{sfn|Rodriguez|2012|pp=98–99, 127}}

Historian Erin Torkelson Weber said that, apart from Lennon's account in ''[[Lennon Remembers]]'', the book also presents arguably the most negative depiction of Martin as a record producer.{{sfn|Weber|2016|p=202}} The publication led to an Internet [[flame war]], as former Beatles engineer [[Ken Scott]] challenged the accuracy of Emerick's recollections and stated that, before writing the book, Emerick had contacted him and other EMI technical staff saying he had limited memory of the events.{{sfn|Rodriguez|2012|p=99}} Scott's 2012 autobiography, ''From Abbey Road to Ziggy Stardust'', sought to correct Emerick's statements in ''Here, There and Everywhere'', especially with regard to Harrison's musicianship and character.<ref name="Weber" />
