Where'S Ringo
Eccentric and easily recognizable, Ringo Starr is often the least-credited of the four Beatles. Now he gets his due as an entire book devotes time to picking him out. Twenty Beatle-themed illustrations by artist David Ryan Robinson show the Beatles and their comrades in iconic scenes from Beatle history.
Ringo pops up in amazing places — in scenes from albums, films, and creative collaborations. There are even iconic Beatles memorabilia items hidden on each page to extend the hours of search-and-find fun. Complete with original photographs and fact-filled overviews describing each image, this Beatle keepsake never lets you down.

Praise for 1973: Rock at the Crossroads
“Jackson's book paints a vivid portrait of the year through the lens of popular music ― mostly rock, but also country and hip-hop … His analysis of sexuality and rock music is particularly interesting ... Jackson also proves to have a real talent for evoking the places that made 1973 such a consequential year in music.” ―NPR
“A comprehensive account of the year of 1973 and its legendary music and momentous social change.” ―Rolling Stone
“It’s the excellent―and frequently hilarious―saga of a moment when the whole sprawling pageant of pop music was one great big band on the run.” ―Rob Sheffield, author of Dreaming the Beatles
Praise for 1965: The Most Revolutionary Year in Music
“Jackson has a better ear than a lot of music writers, and one of the best parts of this book is his many casual citings of songs that echo others: Marvin Gaye’s first million-selling single, “I’ll Be Doggone,” builds on a riff used in the Searchers’ “Needles and Pins,” one also pinched by the Byrds for “I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better” … A lot of the best insights come from writers who show us the familiar through fresh eyes, as Jackson does when he returns us to a year when a lot of us were young and poor and not as happy as we thought we were, yet there was always a great song on the radio.”

"Missä Ringo luuraa: Beatlesin tarina 20 kuvan kautta" (Nemo, 2014) on jonkinlainen yhdistelmä The Beatles -historiikkia ja Where's Wally? -kuvakirjoja, joissa on tarkoituksena löytää kuvaan kätketty nimihenkilö. Vinha idea, joka ei nyt jaksa kuitenkaan viehättää loputtomiin (etsin silti jokaisesta kuvasta pienen rumpalipojan). Tekstiosuus toimii jonkinlaisena yleisesityksenä Beatlesin vaiheista, mutta eipä se kohderyhmälle taida tarjota mitään erityisen uutta ja ihmeellistä. Lisäksi mukana on muutamia asiavirheitä, jotka jäävät harmittamaan - esimerkiksi Valkoiselta tuplalta löytyvä "Good Night" ei ollut Ringon säveltämä, vaikka se olikin hänen laulamansa.
