Recommended Beatles books

The list author says:
	"Essential. A persuasive essay on the Beatles' place at the heart of the 1960s, and a fascinating analysis of every one of their tracks."

The list author says:
	"Probably the best starting point for any new fan. It also covers all their solo albums in some detail, and has a summary of many of the other books out there."

The list author says:
	"A reprint of loads of Mojo magazine articles, covering everything from the Yellow Submarine animated film to John Lennon's dad. Features some of Ian MacDonald's (see #1) last writing on the band."

The list author says:
	"Look beyond the title! A great look at them from a music theory perspective. Starts off accessible, but rapidly advances. Includes an insanely detailed analysis of THAT "A Hard Day's Night" chord..."

The list author says:
	"The level of music theory it discusses is waaay beyond me, but if you happen to have a degree in music you'll want to check out this highly-regarded book (and its partner "Revolver through Anthology")"

The list author says:
	"I'm pretty sure it's ghostwritten :-P but it does contain some great anecdotes about the making of the '67 classic album."

The list author says:
	"The official biography has a reputation for inaccuracy, but it's still valuable because Hunter Davies was actually THERE during the composition of many Sgt Pepper/MMTour songs"

The list author says:
	"Much of this info's available elsewhere - but he tracked down the girl who inspired "She's Leaving Home"! (Books in the same format covering artists like Björk and Radiohead have since been published)"

The list author says:
	"The official line. Lavishly illustrated and crammed with quotes from the raw interviews done for the Anthology documentary. I can't resist boasting that I got my pristine hardback copy for only £5. :P"

The list author says:
	"An eclectic collection of interviews, articles (both positive and negative) and other miscellanea about John's Beatle and solo years."
