Does anyone know anything about these books? Are they any good? Because I'm very interested in buying them, as I do not own any Beatle books right now.

The Beatles Box looks kind of cheesy to me & I wouldn't buy it at all.


I want you, I want you so bad babe.  I want you, I want you so bad.  It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.

I've seen it at Books a Million.  They have it cheaper than Amazon.  If you collect Beatles books, then buy it.  I may buy it the next time I'm in there.  Like ma_tt2 said, the Anthology book is excellent!!  A bit more pricey, but well worth it.

Actually, Alan Clayson is a good writer. I have read his biography of George "The Quiet One", and of Ringo "Straight Man Or Joker?". Fairly accurate, and some worthwhile analysis of their positions in "Fabdom". I presume the George and Ringo biogs in the box set are the same works ...

What I have heard is that his Macca and Lennon biogs are weak. Maybe there are so many books about John and Paul that another one on each suffers unless it's brilliant.

Really? What a stunning revelation. My opinion is just my opinion! I'm rocked back on my heels. I thought my opinion was something more than my opinion. Just goes to show ...

You are a silly person, Constable.

Actually, that could actually mean that there are other boofheads and plodders, actually just like you, actually! And wow, that's sad ...

I love the logic though: an opinion is better if more people have it. Mob rule!

But seriously - your post backs up what I think is a serious flaw in the culture of these forums. If you don't please the ruling gang, watch out. If you don't go with the prevailing opinion, you'll be hacked. But I do love challenging the culture, because it's a culture of the ignorant bully.

Sometimes disagreeing just to disagree is pointless though, is it not?

Oh, I never disagree just to disagree. There's always a point. As I say, sometimes the point is, to challenge the culture.
