Hi Xose,
first of all I'd like to welcome you to DM's Beatles Forums on behalf of the forums management.  ;D
And second: I haven't got a clue about the earliest books on this subject. I know there's a couple around and I even have one on the hard disc drive. I will have to check which one that is and I really don't know from what year it is. But erm, I wonder to what interest it is for you?

Because I'm trying to research when DID Beatles music transcriptions start. Mostly transcriptions for Classical Guitar...

Thanks for your help!! ;)

Hi Xose, I quickly checked through the US Library of Congress' catalog, and it seems that Joe Washington's book is the earliest one on this topic.  You can also try searching for books on your own at the site:  http://catalog.loc.gov/webvoy.htm

Just note that some results that pop up may be sound recordings and not books.  Good luck!
