It's a dirty story of four dirty men! Haha! A novel about the Beatles career.

I just got Can't Buy Me Love for my b-day.  I can't wait to to read it.  

Just finished reading The Beatles: The True Beginnings by Roag Best with Pete and Rory Best.

It's fab! Lovely pictures, v atmospheric, and tries to redress the balance between the Cavern (which is always billed as where it all began) and the Casbah. I must go and read something by Allan Williams now, so I can see where the Jacaranda really fitted in! Any recommendations?

Liverpool must have been SUCH an exciting place to be young and creative in the late 50's/early 60's.

I can't remember the last Beatle book I read   It might have been the Beatle Chronicles.

I'm reading a Paul biography by some polish guy... Salewicz i think his name is.
Its ok so far

I guess in some ways it's Beatles related.  Right now I'm reading Eric Clapton's autobiography

Just finished Carry that Weight by Geoffrey Guilliano. My only criticism would be that I was unclear about the origin of the quotes he used. He claims to have interviewed many people, including Paul, etc, but the quotes throughout the book are not given a context. Some are from well-known interviews I know were years after the event but not credited as such in the book, so you can get the wrong impression. The quotes weren't individually itemised, so I would tend to distrust some of them. Hunter Davies pointed this practise out in one of his books, and since reading that, I always like to check the reference if it's a strange quote from a Beatle or close insider. I also feel he may be trying to publish his version of events as many different times as he can so it's 'out there' and becomes accepted, as I have read some of his other stuff, and it seemed a little familiar. May just be my suspicious mind, but I trust no-one!!!

"Here Comes the Sun: the Spiritual & Musical Journey of George Harrison" by Joshua Greene

Dana ; )

i am reading The Bealtes Anthology. i am going to read the whole thing. there is like 320 pages though, i am only on 48 lol but rules so far

I´am trying to decide whether to buy the following books:

The Unreleased Beatles
by Richie Unterberger

and

The Beatles' London: The Ultimate Guide to Over 400 Beatles Sites in and Around London
by Piet Schreuders

Do you know them? Can you recommend?

I have the first mentioned and it is a very interesting read. There's a couple of very good second hand ones on Amazon. The second one is unknown to me. The author's name is obviously Dutch, but still unknown. I would definately go for the first option.

I wanted to borrow a beatles book from the school library and i searched the opac i just found about 2 yellow submarine but it was out and i also saw a beatles anthology book but it was in the college area

I definitely like the Unterberger; but then a die hard collector / anorak like me would, so you may want to take that into consideration, too. I haven't seen Piet Schreuders' book, but it's a good idea and I'll certainly have a look at it if a copy ever turns up. Come to think of it, it would be a great idea for a web site as well.  

Thanks guys, I bought the both of them.

What about a book by a certain Derek Taylor : It Was Twenty Years Ago Today. It´s from 1987. Any of you have it? Recommend it? It´s out of print so I might buy it used.
