Book Reviews of Beatles for Sale: How Everything They Touched Turned to Gold
Book Review: Beatles still making money
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is about how The Beatles were conned out of hundreds of millions of pounds by the greed and incompetence of the people around them who managed their affairs.
Its an old story, and has been told many times before. There's absolutely nothing in this book that can't be found in any number of other books about the band.
Its ironic that 'respected author' John Blaney has, while pointing out that people continue to this day to make money out of the Beatle name, is himself making money out of the Beatle name. He's done nothing in this book except collect together information previously published in other books and present it more or less as his own research.
He writes reasonably well, but apart from that, don't bother.
