Buy this for the Photos only April 25, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
While it's hard to knock anyone who clearly has a passion for the Beatles, the fact remains that this book is only worth it (IMHO) as a reference for its photos of Beatles memorabilia. The pricing is wildly off in many instances. And there are many items that you may argue do not deserve any mention due to their lack of collectibility (would you pay ANYTHING for a Mid-West newspaper announcing John's death? - much less hundreds of dollars! ) It feels like one fan's personal photo tribute to their own Beatles collection. A little more research and checking with other collectors could have significantly increased the value of this effort. Having said that, you may find this book still worth it for the photos.
Useful as a picture book,not a price guide June 15, 1998
This book has some nice photos of newer Beatle items,but is very weak in its coverage of 1960`s memorabilia.Many of the values listed are wildly high,with newspapers relating to John Lennons death priced at over 100 times their actual $5. value.The items depicted in the book seem to be randomly selected,anyone trying to value their collection will be unable to find numerous licensed items produced in the 70`s,80`s and 90`s,the era this book covers.
