What was the last Beatles Item you bought?

Are they in love?



They must be in love.

The editor in me notices that the "L" in that sign on the book cover was added at the last minute.  ha2ha   

So many Beatles books, so little time!

I know what you mean! I have several stacked up waiting to be read, and soon more will be on the way. Also, I just realized I have a bunch of unread ocean liner books that I can now read. When the kids were little, I was too afraid one of them would spill juice on, or rip, or otherwise ruin any of the glossy big ones or the expensive rare ones. I just pulled a biography of Charles Lightoller off the shelf the other day and remarked, "Hey, I can read this now. I spent $90 on it [on eBay] almost 10 years ago!" My elder daughter was shocked that I'd spent that much on a book, but that's probably half what she's blown on One Direction merchandise the past couple of years.    Besides, it's a BOOK, and I can rationalize pretty much any book purchase.

I found it on eBay, Brynjar.

I just bought one too from amazon.co.uk. Used of course. Maybe we should start a reading group.  glassesslip

Yeah, I noticed that too! Cute! Along those lines I'm sure you're well aware of this sort of thing but it boggled my mind when I read it:

Enjoy those books Kathy. I can't think of a better investment.

Are they dead or alive
Can their poor hearts survive
Are they in love?




Ahhhh...Ahhhh



They must be in love.

Whoever made that sign was suffering from Ali MacGraw.

I once had a mild case of Ali MacGraw.  It's a good thing I never saw that movie.  It could have been fatal.

I'll just bet you did!

It's a good thing I never saw that movie.  It could have been fatal.

I watched it when it first aired on TV. It wasn't fatal but I did get yelled at the next day by my 4th grade teacher for talking about it. She told me I shouldn't have stayed up so late and that I thought I was so special ever since I got white go-go boots for Christmas. Not that I'm harboring any lasting resentments. LOL

Right and no sooner was I cured of that, I caught Linda Ronstadt.

Oh my gosh; I was alternately horrified and laughing out loud, Kelley. Yikes! I've never heard of LAP Lambert, but I no longer take work from for-profit academic publishers, and this article is a good example of why. (The nonprofit professional associations still, thank goodness, focus on quality.)

[Normandie]

I haven't actually started reading it yet Kathy so I hope it's good. I'm still working on the big tome. I also have this one waiting in line but I picked it up at the library:

I meant to say that that book looks very interesting, too. Now I'm torn on whether I should order Pete Shotton's book straight away or hold off...I still have some Beatle-reading to catch up on, including the first Lewisohn volume, as well as George Martin's book and Julia Baird's The Private John Lennon, but I get impatient when I see a book I really want.

I figured you'd like that! I have to send this to my daughter too. She just finished her Master's thesis and I'm sure she'll be hearing from someone sketchy.

Yes, of course. That's been a chronic condition, I'm afraid.

Yeah, I reckon.  It's like a...
