The Best Beatles Books
What Are The Greatest Books About The Beatles?
With over eighty nine thousand books* now registered in The British Library that mention The Beatles in one way shape or form, I thought it would be helpful to present a buyer&#;s guide to the best ones.
This list of Beatles Books is the result of many happy hours of reading the best Beatles books &#; the ones that best told the story of John Paul, George and Ringo.
This was itself the result of many hours of research trying to avoid reading any of the less good books about The Beatles, albeit I have read quite a few of those also. I have filtered out most of these so what we are left with is what I hope is a pretty comprehensive, yet quality-filled list, all of which I have read.
As hard as it may be to believe, there are plenty of folk out there who know more about The Beatles than I do. If that&#;s you, or even if it isn&#;t, but you think I have just missed an obviously fantastic read, then please let me know in the comments section below!

10 Best Beatles Books
The Beatles have just ended, and Rolling Stone founder Wenner sits down with Lennon for a confessional that doubles as harsh attack, soul purging, study in how songs came to be, and, in the end, a kind of lament for something that was the defining journey of a life, which would never come close to being replicated. Lennon is more hurt than angry, one senses, as he lobs stones at the stained-glass windows of Beatledom.
Ironically, for all of the bashing, the book presents McCartney as the Beatles’ most talented member, reflecting a respect that Lennon clearly feels. He tells you – not always correctly — who wrote what, song-wise. But beyond the hurt feelings and foggy memories is a clarity of thought that emerges almost despite the man himself. As he says: “And the thing about rock and roll, good rock and roll, whatever good means, etc., ha-ha, and all that shit, is that it’s real. And realism gets through to you, despite yourself. You recognize something in it which is true, like all true art.” Hear, hear.
