Excellent Intermediate Book

This is a truly delightful book for the intermediate Beatle fan. It is a good teaching tool of Beatle history geared for the older child and is replete with interesting information about the group, from their inception to their break up in 1970. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Schaffner at a Beatles' convention and he graciously autographed my copy. You will also want his other book, BEATLES FOREVER. Sadly, Mr. Schaffner passed away in 1991.

Gestalt Beatles

I have loved this book for years. Nick Schaffner has done a superb job of sharing his personal love for the Beatles from both an objective and subjective standpoint. Not only does he make personal references in re the Beatles, he also details the history of the band and the recordings they had released up until this book was published. Certain references, such as the Beatles' hair length being comparable to then-president Jimmy Carter (1976-80) are what "dates" this work; other than that, this excellent book is a timeless classic. When I was in the 9th grade, I wrote a paper on the breakup of the Beatles entitled "The Gestalt Beatles: The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts" and smile today as I think of how much I wanted to be a paperback writer. There is no doubt that Mr. Schaffner has inspired countless hordes of fans in this manner. I think of my old term paper because the writing in this book is greater than the sum of its parts - the combination of objectivity and subjectivty make for a very well rounded presentation indeed! I had the pleasure of meeting Nick Schaffner at a Beatles' convention and he graciously autographed my copy of this book. He also shared stories about the Beatles and offered words of solace to fans still mourning John's death. This book deserves a place of honor and is a must-have for the avid Beatles' fan. Please read this book and share it with somebody. You will be glad that you did.

From fan to Fanatic

I got this book as a birthday present one year, and it totally changed my musical life. Before I was a fan of the beatles, but this book opened me up to the effect they had on music and on society, and gave me that much more of a love for their songs. Now I'm a sold out beatlemanic! Definitly for anyone who is interested in learning about the B's!

The Bible of Beatle Books!

This comprehensive bio is a great place to start exploring the legend of the greatest pop group of all time. While giving only a brief glance to their pre-Beatle years, it provides excellent info on their years as a group and even covers their solo careers up to 1975. An invaluable book for beginners and Beatlemaniacs alike. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
