I'll make a rash prediction and say the second volume may come out in 2024 for the sixtieth anniversary of the Beatles arrival in America.

I bet you're right, zipp.

I realized, after reading these posts, that I'd gotten Lewisohn's Volume 1 mixed up with Bob Spitz's The Beatles. I tried to read the latter several years ago and was a bit turned off by the excessive detail, although I've just skimmed through it now, and I no longer have that opinion. That first attempt at reading was during a rather fraught period of my life. I'll have to give it another go.

And now it seems like I'll have plenty of time for Lewisohn's first volume as well.

Given there’s no word it sounds like 2024 is more likely than 2023.

I had a look on his website and he said that it took ten years to research and write volume one, which came out in 2013.  He said volume two will take longer. So maybe 2024 might even be optimistic.

Has anyone read the expanded version of Volume 1 ?

No haven’t got that one.  I keep weighing up whether to get it on my kindle.

That's an interesting choice of words, Moogmodule.  The regular copy of Vol. 1 is so heavy I was wondering whether I'd even be able to lift with ease an expanded version.

I've been a longtime member of the print-will-never-die club, but I'm edging closer to getting a Kindle so I can more easily read large books like this.

I love my Kindle. One of the best aspects is how light it is. So reading massive tomes like Tune In is easy in bed, sitting in a comfy chair with a nice cognac or while stirring sauce in the kitchen.

It’s also great as, if someone asks you what you’re reading, you can make anything up you want. “Oh I’m just re-reading Proust. Magnificent. Truly Proustian” while in reality you’re reading Confessions of a Stewardess or something equally classy.

That would be very helpful up here in ultra-conservative North Dakota.

I'm pretty sure a Kindle is the only way I'll ever be able to read On a Sea of Glass.
