The Beatles - Books

Postcards from the Boys  - Ringo Starr
Sensationally presented, this book features 53 postcards sent by John Lennon, George Harrison and Paul McCartney to Ringo Starr. The superb facsimile reproductions complete with the occasional drawing, depict both the spontaneous wit and art of the Beatles. The reproduction of the postcards is supplemented by a revealing text from Ringo explaining the meaning behind the cards and documenting the corresponding moments in his life. This visually stunning and intriguing book is, quite simply, a must-have for anyone interested in the story of the Beatles phenomenon.

Yellow Submarine - Charlie Gardner (Adapter), The Beatles

The Beatles Antholgy - The Beatles
The perfect companion to the DVD set.  I didn't read it cover to cover as I couldn't find anywhere comfortable to put it......it's VERY heavy, but it's great to dip in and out of.  Dive in at any page, and keep reading till your arms get tired.  A story well told.

Revolution in the Head - Ian MacDonald
Highly recommended !!...but make sure you read the introduction...you will enjoy the song descriptions a whole lot more. (and you won't get so cross with the author!)
My favourite Beatle book.

The Complete Beatles Chronicle - Mark Lewishon
Oh!!... they've changed the cover!!  Oh well...I expect the content is the same as my copy ...so........  go ahead and buy it!!..It's great....  A modern day.... errmm...  Samuel Peyps???
Love it!

Beatles Gear - Andy Babiuk
I suspect this book has limited appeal, but it is certainly the most thorough study into the often forgotten candidate for 5th Beatle.....their instruments.
Don't go searching for replica Beatle guitars without checking out this fine work.    Nice job Andy!!

The Beatles: A Private View - Robert Freeman
A view of the Beatles at work and play by Robert Freeman, a photographer closely associated with the group at the height of their popularity. This book includes photographs such as Patti Boyd and George at home, Ringo's wedding, and the Beatles on stage, in the studio, on tour and on the film set.
