Customer Reviews

Amazing in great condition

I have to say I know I've gone through it twice but I have to say I learned more about them.

A job well done

I bought the Barnes and Noble edition of this book and was not disappointed in the least. If there was ever a Beatles pictorial that was a must have for the library, this is it right here. There are dozens of previously unpublished pics of The Boys from the archives of London's Daily News tabloid. I sent it to a fellow Beatles freak and he was floored by the number of pics he had never before seen. The history in the beginning of the book pretty much sums up the careers of the greatest group in music history. This is a keeper ... and then some.

Beatle Gallery!

I love this collection of Beatle photographs taken from early in their careers to the post-Beatle years. (I have two copies of this book - the first one has a chronology that stops in 1999-2000, when George was still alive and the second one includes George's tragic demise in 2001). I love the way a Beatle song is used as a title for each chapter. The photos are well documented and include many people who crossed paths with the Beatles, such as Harold Wilson, Ed Sullivan (of course) and many lesser known people. The book also provides a rich history for each year that is being covered. Events are chronicled in the chronology and is a very "Beatle friendly" gauge indeed. The Beatles' travels and events regarding same are recorded. There are two pictures of George, packing his "Beatle Bag," with the picture captioned about how BOAC provided the Fabs free flights from England to France provided they advertised with those bags. Harold & Louise Harrison, Sr. are shown, sending their son off to America proudly and lovingly. These make a good book even better. Many of these photographs had not seen the light of day prior to the publication of this wonderful book. No Beatle fan should be without this one!

I really love the beatles

That book was amazing! I read it twice and I really learned alot from it. It has amazing photo's of the beatles and you don't want to stop to put the book down! It teaches you about ALL of the beatles experiences and even shows you how it was after the beatles and what they did. There is a timeline after each chapter so you would know what was going on at that time during the beatles! I really enjoy the beatles and that was the best book i have ever read!

Awesome and worth it!

First off, obviously, it's not that expensive of a book. Basically, what you're getting here, is a giant photo album of candid and sometimes composed Beatles pictures. You won't really learn a lot from it, but it's very fun to look at! It also makes for a nice coffee table book.

Awesome Collection of Rare Photos

This is a collection of rare Beatles' photos taken from pre-1964 to a period 'after the Beatles.' Each chapter of the book is titled after a Beatles' song (e.g. chapter four is titled "Hello Goodbye").The photos have descriptions beside them giving an explanation of what is going on in the pic, where it might have been taken, who is in the pic, and other facts that might pertain tom the pic such as record stats, radio shows, TV programs, etc.Periodically throughout this book a chronology of a certain year (i.e. 1968) will be shown. The chronology explains what happened on certain dates or days in that year. For instance, in the 1968 chronology, on 23 August it states "Ringo quits the Beatles during the recording sessions for the White Album."The book contains 600 photographs selected from the archives of the 'Daily Mail." The book contains over 200 photographs from negatives never previously printed and are said to be printed here for the first time.The pictures in this book are pics taken at parties, vacations that each Beatles member took alone, or together, recording studio shots, candid shots (some of these are just plain terrible, but fun to see), and many other various settings. This is a great book for Beatles' fans, and a must for hard core Beatles collectors.
