The Beatles: An Illustrated Record
2.  The Beatles: An Illustrated Record by Roy Carr
The list author says:
  "A very funny and incisive book - these two can certainly write, and their balance of respect tempered by harsh but amusing criticism, which they dish out more for the solo stuff, hasn't been bettered."
Used & New from: £16.90
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Last Interview: John Lennon and Yoko Ono
3.  Last Interview: John Lennon and Yoko Ono by John Lennon
The list author says:
  "Superior to Lennon Remembers: interesting to see how 10 years with Yoko made the boy mightily articulate, and to compare this with Goldman's portrait."
Used & New from: £0.01

The "Beatles"
4.  The "Beatles" by Hunter Davies

Revolution In The Head: The Beatles Records and the Sixties
5.  Revolution In The Head: The Beatles Records and the Sixties by Ian MacDonald
The list author says:
  "Fascinating and famous uber-Beatles-freak trawl through the back catalogue, although some of the musicology is apparently questionable. Who cares, though?"

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

The Beatles: 10 Years That Shook the World
6.  The Beatles: 10 Years That Shook the World by Paul Trynka

8.  The Love You Make: An Insider's Story of the Beatles (Signet) by Peter Brown
The list author says:
  "Not without some glaring errors, but much less hysterical than Goldman and written by a true insider. Should you want some dirt on the Fabs (and that's a good question) - this is the one to go for."

The list author says:
  "This is volume 2 of 2. 20 years in the writing, as definitive reference works it is hard to see how these fairly astonishing books might be supplanted. Give in to your inner geek."

"Beatles" Gear

The Unreleased Beatles
17.  The Unreleased Beatles by Richie Unterberger

Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now

John
22.  John by Cynthia Lennon

Brian Epstein: The Man who made the Beatles
23.  Brian Epstein: The Man who made the Beatles by Ray Coleman
