It's common for many of us to look at our Beatle albums and consider those our primary Fab Four collection...but...having just completed reading a great Harrison bio, I thought it might be fun to list the books that make up our Beatle libraries. Most bands have their albums and maybe a bio or 2 to illustrate their legacy, but as Beatle fans, we're really spoiled to have so much written about our beloved band as well as the discography.
So, give us all a list of all the Beatle (both as a band and individuals) books in your collections. Some of mine literally haven't been off my bookshelf in years, but here they all are:
The Beatles: Recording Sessions - Mark Lewisohn
George Harrison Living in the Material World - Olivia Harrison
The Beatles in Hamburg - Spencer Leigh
The Beatles in Liverpool - Spencer Leigh
The White Book - Ken Mansfield
Ringo With a Little Help - Michael Starr
Turn Me On, Dead Man The Beatles and the "Paul is Dead" Hoax - Andru Reeve
George Harrison Behind the Locked Door - Graeme Thomson
John Lennon The Life - Philip Norman
Paul McCartney Many Years From Now - Barry Miles
The Beatles Anthology - Chronicle Books (no author given but it was the companion piece to the Anthology video box set and TV special)
Beatles Gear - Andy Babiuk
The Beatles The BBC Archives 1962 - 1970 - Kevin Howlett (part of a fancy boxed set including the BBC CD's)
The Walrus Was Paul - R Gary Patterson
The Concise Beatles Complete - (no author given - sheet music consisting of the vocal melody and accompanying chords for all original Beatle songs)
McCartney - Paul McCartney Archive Collection (Paul's 1st solo album with a beautiful hardbound 120+ pg book of mostly photos)
