I'd find it easier to write a top 10 – I don't think I have an absolute favourite. So here goes, in no particular order.
- Revolution In The Head by Ian MacDonald
- Anthology by The Beatles
- The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions by Mark Lewisohn
- Love Me Do by Michael Braun
- You Never Give Me Your Money by Peter Doggett
- All We Are Saying by David Sheff
- Lennon Remembers by Jann S Wenner
- Recording The Beatles by Kevin Ryan and Brian Kehew
- Beatles Gear by Andy Babiuk
- The Unreleased Beatles by Richie Unterberger

I just read You Never Give Me Your Money for the second time – it is even better the second time. If you've read it, read it again – you'll retain much more.
It's number one Beatle book for me – but I have read Revolution in the Head yet.

As I may or may not have mentioned, I finished this book about, oh, 3 weeks ago. I, oh, how do you put this, loved it and hated it for the same reason. The boys come out looking like ill-prepared overambitious asses (Pardon the language). I don't like thinking of the boys that way, but then again, it unearths so many details. I remember Joe saying that Paul and George came out worse – I think it was Ringo and Paul. It's a fascinating book – I highly recommend

It was a good read, very well written. But to me, nothing very surprising was revealed. Some of the events themselves I did not know about, but it was absolutely no surprise they happened.
Toward the end, I felt it got a bit "gossipy". It was still a good read, but I'm glad I did not pay full price for it. I may take robert's advice from upthread and read it again some time – I just don't see it happening soon.

Zig, i's not the massive details that make the book for me. It's the sheer volume of info he gets that draws me to the book. Well, it is what it is. I still love it.

I never said I did not like it – I just did not love it and don't think it's the best Beatles book I've read to date. It just did not meet my expectations. That does not make it a bad book – it's just my opinion.
I'm glad you liked it. That's cool.

Ive ordered this book from a library and ordering another copy from another library and between the 2 will hopefully get thru it without being left in the dark. Im not paying full price for it.
Considering all the positive comments should be interesting.

Looks like I know what book to buy next.
It's been lying around in the bookstore.

I really want to read this book.. But bookstores here are lousy! I asked the store to order to book last week and still waiting for them to call and tell me if they even found it!
I think I should get it through Amazon or eBay..
Something was mentioned in this thread I guess about George calling Paul Krishna, or something.. Can't remember exactly but I remember this quote made me laugh so much, and want to read this book even more.. I love you George

Doggett's just brought out a book about Bowie in the 70s. That's shot to the top of my Christmas list.

The book just came into the local library today. Hopefully should be a good read when its gotten around to. Have been reading details of the 1971 court battle of Paul v John, George, Ringo and Apple which that was really interesting. Especially the report of John, George and Ringo going around to Pauls home in Cavendish after the result had been read out that Paul had won. Supposedly John climbed the gates and threw 2 bricks thru Pauls windows.

Oh god, if he did that…I wouldn't be surprised, just kind of…disappointed…I hope he didn't. I can't really think Ringo would let him do that, although you never really know.

Well, reading this book trashes any romantic idea you can have about the Beatles. That's why I want to read it.

The Walrus – thanks for the info on the Bowie book. It's gone straight on my Amazon wishlist.

I don't know why it is better the second time, but you are absolutely correct. I just finished my second reading of it last night. As I told "Into the Sky with Diamonds" this morning, I found it light years better the second time around. I am very glad you suggested it, robert – thanks.
