A huge coffee table that I read leisurely over two years. Lots of photos and timeline information. I'm a huge Beatles fan so I found it enjoyable and refreshed many memories of beatlemania.

A great day-by-day chronicle of the Beatles. Lots of good photos and memorabilia. If you're a serious fan, you won't regret getting this book.

what i really look for in beatles books is good pictures and this book was full of great ones that i hadnt seen before. the timeline is tedious for me because its alot of little snippets to read of specific dates when i just want to read the main pages. plus i dont remember most ot it anyway. it was still good info to have and even though the book wasnt an in depth chronicle of their life stories, i did learn little tidbits that i didnt know. i found one caption error. pretty good for such a big book:)

Great picture selection. Interesting although Beatles buffs will find out little they did not already know . But it is The Beatles and a fun, if heavy (weight ) coffee table top type of book.

As far as this sort of book goes, this was very enjoyable. Lovely pictures :)
