Customer Reviews

Maybe I'm biased

Maybe I'm biased because I am a contributor to this book, but I found it highly entertaining and informational. Oh, and by the way, Eleanor Rigby's grave wasn't found by Paul McCartney until sometime in the 1980s. Eleanor Rigby is really a combination of Eleanor Bron (an actress in "Help!") and Rigby's stores found all over England.

what a great book! Amazing, random info...

I have no idea how the author went about researching this book, but the end result is such enjoyable, and interesting reading. Very quick and interesting reading for a fun night with friends(who are interested in the Beatles) or when you only have a few minutes to read some quick interesting tid-bits.

My review of Who was Eleanor Rigby? And 908 other questio...

Gear book. I liked it because it had questions I knew the answers to immediatley, ones I had to think about and ones I didn't know at all, so I learned quite a bit about the Beatles from reaing this book. I had a groovy time goin' through and tryin' t' figure out th' answers before I 'ad t' look them up. I'd recommend reading it wether you're a HUGE Beatles fan with a ton of knowlege, or just a novice who's looking to learn more about the GREATEST ROCK GROUP OF ALL TIME.
