5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent starter, and refresher,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to the "Beatles" (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a superb book, and the author, much as he might claim to the contrary, is far from being a Complete Idiot. A photo from 1977 shows just how long he has been a fan, and how he likes to be close to the source of all Beatles knowledge. The book is full of fascinating revelations. To learn, for example, that the Beatles used to perform Chuck Berry's Little Queenie as homage to manager Brian Epstein's mother is a gem. Three cheers for this author and this great book.

Good book for Beatles beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to the "Beatles" (Mass Market Paperback)
It is a good book for new Beatles fans. A good start for one to know about the Beatles' life and music. I had more than 20 books on The Beatles before I read this book, and it still gave me some insight which I didn't know before.I really like the ending bit where the author wrote about the reunion, the Anthology albums and the the two new singles. However it was a little short and I wish that it was much much longer. It's a must buy for beginners and for hard-core Beatles who like to have more books on their Beatles collection.

It's an excellent book for ALL Beatles fans,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to the "Beatles" (Mass Market Paperback)
The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Beatles is a gret book. I'm one of the younger beatles fans (not even in highschool yet) and ,unfortunately, didn't get to live through the excitement of Beatlemania. This book gave great details of what is was like before, during,and after the rise of the greatest rock band in history. I really loved it. Buy this book!
