Book Reviews of The Beatles Anthology
Book Review: ....and whence the Stones
Summary: 5 Stars
OK. Now that the Beatles are out of the way, when can we get a similar, excellent chronicle of the Stones? "The Rolling Stones: A Life on the Road" was great, but not nearly enough new stuff, and virtually nothing for Stones fans already in the know. We Stones fans need something like "Anthology". Leave it to the Beatles to get their first, though. As usual.....Book Review: A Fitting Tribute
Summary: 5 Stars
The world will never forget the Beatles. No other band will ever be as good, and no other duo will write songs as good as those written by John Lennon and Paul Mcartney. When the Beatles first emerged in the 60's, something changed. This book is an incredible tribute, which is written and presented beautifully with engaging text and amazing images. This book should find a place in the home of every Beatles fan, and it should be passed down through the generations for them to enjoy.Book Review: A Great Book By a Great Band
Summary: 5 Stars
Just what you'd expect from the Beatles -- an extremely high-quality product created for the purpose of delighting their fans. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book, loaded with wonderful photographs and drawings, as well as the stories and recollections of each of the Beatles. The story of their enormous popularity and creativity is unique in the history of popular culture and this book brings it all to life in a very entertaining way.Book Review: A Must-Buy!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is basically THE greatest Beatle book I've seen. After this, you don't want to read any other books about them, because they're not actually in The Beatle's own words. The layout is positively GORGEOUS. Even though I'm still reading the beginning part, I like to skip around and just look at all the glossy pictures. The colors, the pictures- amazing! I love how they equally represented John, too, in this. A lot of books don't do that. (I was born exactly 7 years after he was killed). This is a great book for devoted Beatle fans, such as myself, who love them but weren't around back then. It's probably great for the baby boomers too. Buy it! You won't regret it.Book Review: A Necessary Companion to All Your Other Beatles Books
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are a Beatles fan who enjoys reading about them (and not just listening) then you have to own this book. It is the story of the Beatles from their own lips. Is it the definitive Beatles book? Well, the Beatles have a vested interest in preserving their legacy so are we getting the true picture? And Lennon's absence--he's represented as well as possible--slants the overall balance to McCartney. It has more detail than the video anthology which glosses over the break up and many other details. But the Anthology book should be read as one of several crucial Beatles books mentioned in many other reviews. My favorites are the Peter Brown book, Richard DiLello's "The Longest Cocktail Party" (as much about Apple as the Beatles but a hoot!) and Nicholas Schaffner's "Beatles Forever", still my favorite after all these years. The Anthology is not the only Beatles book to own.
