There are, of course, many books on the Beatles, but this is the only one available that is a comprehensive, career-spanning collection of journalism about the legendary band, before and after the breakup. Consisting of more than fifty articles, essays, interviews, record and movie reviews, poems, and book excerpts—many of them rare and hard to find—Read the Beatles is an unprecedented compilation that follows the arc of the Fab Four's iconic and idiosyncratic career, from their early days in Liverpool through their tragic and triumphant histories after the group's split.

The book also includes original essays from noted musicians and journalists about the Beatles' lasting influence and why they still matter today.

It's all here—Dave Marsh's Rolling Stone review of Springsteen's ten sold-out Bottom Line shows in 1975 in New York City, Jay Cocks's and Maureen Orth's dueling Time and Newsweek cover stories, George Will's gross misinterpretation of Springsteen's message on his Born in the USA tour, and Will Percy's 1999 interview for Double Take, plus much, much more.]]> 20135 3.85 73 23 2004 849318 0634080288 9780634080289 3 <![CDATA[The Best in Rock Fiction]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178891283m/849318.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178891283s/849318.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/849318.The_Best_in_Rock_Fiction 3.25 4 20135 3.85 73 23 9087 3.80 75 9 2004 849316 0815411480 9780815411482 1 <![CDATA[The Greenwich Village Reader: Fiction, Poetry, and Reminiscences]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178891282m/849316.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178891282s/849316.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/849316.The_Greenwich_Village_Reader_Fiction_Poetry_and_Reminiscences 4.50 2 20135 3.85 73 23 2001 849315 0306810077 9780306810077 2 <![CDATA[Celtic Music: A Complete Guide]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178891281m/849315.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178891281s/849315.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/849315.Celtic_Music_A_Complete_Guide 4.00 2 20135 3.85 73 23 2001 395153 0825634709 9780825634703 3 <![CDATA[Tougher Than The Rest - 100 Best Bruce Springsteen]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174415305m/395153.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174415305s/395153.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/395153.Tougher_Than_The_Rest_100_Best_Bruce_Springsteen 2.67 3 20135 3.85 73 23 2006 3860285 1903238625 9781903238622 0 <![CDATA[Dreams of Elsewhere: The Selected Travel Writings of Robert Louis Stevenson]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3860285.Dreams_of_Elsewhere_The_Selected_Travel_Writings_of_Robert_Louis_Stevenson 5.00 1 20135 3.85 73 23 854076 3.69 33075 2528 2003 3132650 1892145588 9781892145581 0 <![CDATA[The Civilized Shopper's Guide to Edinburgh and Glasgow]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/31/650/3132650-m-1256085262.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/31/650/3132650-s-1256085262.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3132650.The_Civilized_Shopper_s_Guide_to_Edinburgh_and_Glasgow 5.00 1 The Philadelphia Inquirer) and Edinburgh has long been considered one of the most hospitable cities in Europe. This book has eleven walks–seven in Edinburgh and four in Glasgow–taking shoppers to the most charming and unique stores in both cities, which are less than an hour away from each other by train.

The shops included offer cashmere, hats, shoes, books, handcrafted soaps and natural botanicals inspired by Scotland (Treasure Island is a heady mix of musk, lemon, and cinnamon inspired by the Robert Louise Stevenson classic), single malt whiskies, purses, the best of British home design, and jewelry using Scottish gemstones. There are shops that specialize in traditional foods (farmhouse cheeses, toffee, shortbread, and lemon curd). There’s a “glorious mess of an antique shop,” a “kilt maker for the 21st century” who uses fabrics that range from denim to leather and whose customers include Sean Connery, and many more establishments, both new and historic.

Old businesses aren’t included simply for being old, but for continuing to offer goods of beauty and quality; new businesses are chosen because they operate in an old-fashioned way, with an emphasis on service and craftsmanship. Some are elegant and refined, some offer on quirky twists on classic themes, but each is stylish and without pretense. One shop owner says her boutique attracts the “discerning and determinedly different.”

The guide also includes restaurants, pubs, and cafés along the walks, and has an entire section devoted to the stunning tearooms of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Edinburgh farmer’s market.

Sumptuous color photos throughout give a sneak preview of the shops and their offerings, and the address, phone number, opening days and hours, and website of each establishment are included for extra convenience.]]> 20135 3.85 73 23 2008 409491 1854106945 9781854106940 0 <![CDATA[Complete Guide to Celtic Music: From the Highland Bagpipe and Riverdance to U2 and Enya]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174506775m/409491.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174506775s/409491.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/409491.Complete_Guide_to_Celtic_Music_From_the_Highland_Bagpipe_and_Riverdance_to_U2_and_Enya 4.00 1 20135 3.85 73 23 2000 849317 0829408207 9780829408201 0 <![CDATA[Chicago Sketches: Urban Tales, Stories, and Legends from Chicago History]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/849317.Chicago_Sketches_Urban_Tales_Stories_and_Legends_from_Chicago_History 3.00 1 20135 3.85 73 23 1995
