About This Item
London: Heinemann, 1968. A first edition, first printing published by Heinemann in 1968. A near fine book without inscriptions in a near fine unclipped wrapper with a little wear to the edges. Small crease to the middle of the spine. "The Beatles: The Authorized Biography" by Hunter Davies remains an important reference for Beatles fans and anyone interested in the history of popular music. It offers a behind-the-scenes look at the band's journey from their early days in Liverpool to international superstardom.
Synopsis
Utterly classic (and only authorised) biography of the Fab Four.There's only one book that ever truly got inside the Beatles and this is it. The landmark, worldwide bestseller that has grown with the Beatles ever since. During 1967 and 1968 Hunter Davies spent eighteen months with the Beatles at the peak of their powers as they defined a generation and rewrote popular music. As their only ever authorised biographer he had unparalleled access - not just to John, Paul, George and Ringo but to friends, family and colleagues. There when it mattered, he collected a wealth of intimate and revealing material that still makes this the classic Beatles book - the one all other biographers look to. Hunter Davies remained close with the band and as such has had access to more information over the years. This 40th anniversary edition contains new material which has never been revealed before, from the author's archives and from the Beatles themselves, that will bring new insights to their legend.
