Beatles and Biographies
For 45 years now, there have been hundreds and hundreds of biographies published on The Beatles, with new ones coming out every year. Beatles-History.net has compiled a list of the most significant Beatles biographies, chronologically by year of first release.
Many Beatles fans still want to know: There are so many aspects to the Beatles story, it would be hard to fit it all into one book. The list of biographies we list here will give you a well-rounded perspective of Beatles history. But to compile all the information now known about the Beatles into one book would be a daunting task. That's why we're betting on the three-volume Beatles biography currently being written by Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn. The first volume is due in 2010, with the set to be completed by 2018. Here's some commentary on Lewisohn's project: Mark Lewisohn announces new comprehensive Beatles bio Anxiously awaiting Mark Lewisohn's Beatles biography **** Click for more info on each Beatles T-shirt below
