Aside from Bruce Spizer I understand this is the mammoth book of all Beatles books. I bought this new four years ago and I never got a chance to even read it. I decided it was time to let someone who would enjoy it have it. It came sealed however on photo #4 you can see where the top right hand seam split. It was just sitting on my bookcase since 2019. The books are in excellent condition and I have looked at it briefly just today. I have so much on The Beatles I just never got back to this one. I am considering the tear in the price as many on here are way overpriced. Otherwise this is one fascinating book I wish I had the time for. It was released in 2013 (as I entered not 2017) by Little, Brown in the U.K. Feel free to contact me with any further information. Most is available readily on here. Except for that one flaw it is in excellent condition. Features on eBay tend to have a life of their own.
