Ok..........I think I AM one of the biggest Beatle fans ever..........case in point.........I have EVERY issue of the Bestles' Monthly Book. Yes, EVERY ONE. ALL the originals from 1963-1970, all the "re-issues" in the '70's thru Record Collector Mag, and all the "starting up" issues from 1984 to the end somewhere in 2002, or 2001. Yes people, I have them all. That is what a fanatic collector I am of our fabulous foursome from Liverpool...
I told my husband I want all of these buried with me when I die...............

Thats excellent!! I wish I could claim the same! I wanted to see what they are like though so I own two of them! something like issue 38, I know one had George shaving on the front and the other is of Paul! I was happy just to have two haha, but I admire the fact you own them all!

^^^^^It "cost" me to do this. But this was a mission of mine for several years on ebay. And many trips to the bank to "transfer funds". My husband was ready to kill me. Here's just a few of them....

And my little "shrine" in my music room.......

haha that is really cool! and I bet it cost a lot, especially on ebay with other bidders! how much was it for issue number 1?

I know at the Beatle shop in Liverpool the prices are crazy in there for the monthly books

Actually, the first issue wasn't that bad. I paid maybe $100 US dollars for it. The most I've EVER paid for one issue was $175. Most of the ones I bought, I bought in "lots"...as in there may have been 20 to 100 issues in an auction. I quite a few extra copies, but it was worth what I spent to have ever one.

^^^^^^Oh, I forgot..........to me, the Beatles Book Monthly is the "holy grail" in collecting Beatles' related magazines and books.

^^^^^^That's cool. So I'm not the only one. The mags have the best Beatles' pictures in them, don't they?

Gloi · « **Reply #8 on:** June 19, 2008, 09:37:59 AM »

Oh yes!! The pictures were especially welcome back in the days before you could just go on the computer and find all the Beatles pics you need for your fix. I really looked forward to each one coming through the letterbox

aspinall_lover · « **Reply #9 on:** June 19, 2008, 03:40:45 PM »

Oh yes. There were pictures in there of the Beatles that weren't published anywhere else. Great stuff!!!!

^^^^^No, sorry to say, Beatle's Monthly Book stopped in 2001/2002. That's why they're highly collectable................

JimmyMcCullochFan · « **Reply #12 on:** August 17, 2008, 09:47:37 PM »

Do you have any from October-November 1979? Would you mind looking to see if it mentions anything about Jimmy's death?

aspinall_lover · « **Reply #13 on:** August 17, 2008, 10:34:15 PM »

^^^^^I'll check and see. They're not in any order, which is my fault, but I will look.
