Rating:  Summary: A Real Gem Review: This book is a true gem. It is sure to delight all readers from inveterate Beatles' fans to people becoming familiar with the indelible stamp the Beatles left upon the world at large.The illustrations add to this masterpiece. The interviews by people who knew George Harrison personally are what makes this book so effective in reaching its intended audience. Each individual's voice rings clear and pure; one gets a sense of each person and how they were touched and influenced by George Harrison. To the editors' credit, this book does not languish during the Beatle years; instead, it picks up speed immediately and maintains an even keel throughout the late artist's life. I like the way the songs are discussed and the influences that guided and created them. This book is a sterling work. I highly and heartily recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: beautiful. Review: This book was the best. I don't know how else to describe it. The pictures tell a story all their own and the tributes to George written by different artists really prove that he was the person everyone made him out to be, and so much more. I recomend any Beatles/Harrison fan add this to their collection
Rating:  Summary: High-quality commemorative Review: This has now become the most comprehensive book available on the career and art of George Harrison, with song analysis, interviews, photos, and much, much more, all on high quality paper for an impressive presentation. A worthy book for a great artist.
Rating:  Summary: So Long, George! Review: This is a brilliant book which celebrates the life and times of George Harrison. A fitting tribute to an all-round good egg - too bad he was more often than not under-rated. The photos are interesting (although they could have been more of these) and the tributes from friends and fellow musicians are a nice touch. This coffee table book is very well presented and should be in the library of every music fan.
Rating:  Summary: GREAT BOOK! BUY IT! Review: This is one George Harrison that was not thrown together after his death to make a quick buck. The book is well written, full of great photos, and has a beautiful foreword written by George's wife Olivia...the book also includes personal stories of friends who were very close to George. It's a great book about one of the great artists of the 20th century...it's "fab" and "gear"...you should be scraping your hooter in this bloomin' book!
Rating:  Summary: Whether you know George or not, you'll love it! Review: This one is worth the cover price for the pictures alone. You get all the Rolling Stone interviews, the photos, and some great tributes. I've read this cover to cover several times. George Harrison guitarist, songwriter, spiritualist, producer, and gardner. You'll get a glimpse into the elements that made up the man. This book and the huge Beatles anthology sit on my coffee table and I flip through this one often. Enjoy it!

Rating:  Summary: Living With Good & Bad, I Always Looked Up To You Review: Unlike nearly every other book on George Harrison, this is of the highest quality & doesn't wander off into gossipy corridors. George's memory is well-served by the book's mature analysis of his wonderful music and its respectful portrayal of George as a human being. I feel compelled to say that when I heard of George's passing, I was extremely upset. Not only was George an amazing songwriter and guitarist, he was also (from what I gather) an extremely gentle person. The world is a much poorer place due to his departure. The book is finely illustrated with many rare pictures; I was delighted that it didn't gloss over George's neglected solo career. Another particular delight is the introduction penned by Mrs. Harrison. Like her husband, Mrs. Harrison is a very dignified, articulate person and I wish her the very best. Pictures of George's son (who looks just like him, by the way) are also included. Thank you for the music, George.
