This book has been out for a few years now, and has obviously been reviewed. But it's such a great little book on the band that I thought I'd bring it to the attention of anyone who might've missed it so far. It's full of articles from the band's earliest days up through their breakup and the deaths of Lennon and Harrison. The editor, June Sawyer, has done a great job in putting the many disparate articles into a good, intelligent, flowing order. Also included is a 17 page Chronology beginning with Yoko Ono's birth (1933) and ending with Cirque De Soleil's tribute "LOVE" (2006), a 2 page map of Liverpool, a Forward by Astrid Kirchherr, a 16 page Discography, and an 8 pager Selected Bibliography.Through all the many pieces here--both from the period and newer articles--the reader will get a good feel for both the band and the era. While several books have done something similar, there's something about Sawyer's book that appeals to the fan in me. I've been listening to The Beatles since the days of vinyl and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" came over the AM radio. And I've read most of the relevant books on the group--some good, some not so good--and for some reason this book seems to get close to that whole period of exciting music, at least as good as the other good books on the band.When The Beatles (and other artists) exploded into people's consciousness it really was true that a group and/or a song could influence our generation. It was true too that you could sometimes walk through your neighborhood and hear the same album/songs playing through open windows. Or walk through your college dorm and hear the same music blasting out of people's rooms. I know its hard to believe in this day and age of "niche marketing", almost instant communication and with many "artists" getting their 15 minutes of fame with sometimes little real substance--but its true nonetheless. In those days music was more a part of a person's lifestyle--not simply a lifestyle choice--there was (and is) a difference. The Beatles (and others) really did have the capability to relate to and to carry people along through both the good and bad times.And that's what I found inside this great little book. It gives that kind of a vibe, that kind of feel for that era that's long since disappeared. Reading these articles you get a feel for people's attitudes towards both The Beatles, and rock'n'roll. There's an almost organic feel to many of these pieces (especially the older ones) that seems to shine a clear light onto The Beatles and rock music. I came away with a number of nostalgic feelings for those times, but I've tried hard not to let them interfere with how I view this good little book. To be able to read so many articles from many different magazines etc. really gives depth to this book. Its intelligently laid out and with the added Chronology, Bibliography, and Discography, Sawyer has done a good job in presenting the many articles on The Beatles. If I have any complaints, its that I feel this book would've been better served if originally published as a hardcover edition, to do it proper justice. But that's a small niggle.So, in the end, if you're a fan of The Beatles, and you aren't burnt out on all the many books on the band, and want to read a well thought out book full of period (and newer) articles--this is the book. This cool little book covers that period when rock music was "new" and had a sometimes profound influence on people, when r'n'r was unique and exciting and it was all happening--right now! This book can sit alongside any other good books on The Beatles in your library.
