Review: Excellent introduction to the Beatles. This little book is jam packed with information. Not only does it cover the music, it also goes in depth into the solo years, movies, books, and Beatles geography. This book covers the period from 1957 up until the passing of George quite well.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book is wonderful, Chris Ingham did a great job gathering all the facts. The opening section is my favourite, it has all the facts you want to know from The Beatles -- Though I would liked to see more about the breakup and why they stopped touring. Another great section is The Canon - Ingham covered amazingly well the 50 essential songs (not the best, the essential).

Buy the book if you like The Beatles ... You won't regret it!
