Customer Reviews

Very pleased

The book arrived on time, with slight wear to the bottom cover page. Looking inside, I saw a publication date of 1998, which is puzzling since this is supposed to be a NEW book. Overall though, I am satisfied.

Fab and Then Some !

"The Beatles : A Diary" is a comprehensive and enjoyable look at rock n' roll's greatest band, from the births of all of the Beatles through their 1970 break-up. Accompanied with nearly 300 photographs, this oversized tome is a must-have that exceeds any other book on the Beatles I have seen. Listing so many details of their career in diary form, this book includes record releases, recording sessions, and a list of all of their concerts. One thing that stands out for me is that the concerts are in their own font so that the gigs all stand out and are easy to find. I expect to get many more hours of enjoyment out of Barry Miles' wonderful book and wholeheartedly recommend it to any fan of the Beatles, or anyone just wanting to get to know these rock pioneers.

Wonderful if not some same old same old...

I found this book to be a great source of quotes concerning the Beatles, although much of the information was a little old but that's got to be there since it's a chronological account, and of course much would seem same old same old because i have read so incredibly much on some of my favorite people...i would definitely recommend this book for an aspiring fan or the die-hard like myself. Enjoy!

This book has Amazing pictures!

This book covers most everything that happened to the Beatles and even has quotes. The book has many pictures of the Fab Four that I had never seen before. I enjoyed the way the book was set up. No matter if you are a hardcore Beatles Freak or a first time listener you can still enjoy the book.

A must for Beatle fans!!

This book was worth it's price because the author included a photo that I have never seen in any Beatle's related publication. The photo shows John Lennon and George Harrison leaving a home with what appears to be Elvis Presly standing at the doorway. The Beatles met Elvis at his home in Los angeles in 1965 and the author placed this photo alongside his description of this event. Unfortunately there is no caption alongside the photo. This was their only encounter and no photographs were taken of this historic meeting. The author did not elaborate on this photo and appears to have left it to the imagination of the reader. It would be great if the author cleared this matter up.
