Reviews

It's always a pleasure to read any of the fine books that Ken and Kit have done on the Beatles, and I'm excited to know of this new collaboration. Their works have always provided new insights and revelations on the most successful and celebrated act of all time. -- Ken Michaels, Beatles DJ/Podcaster, host of Every Little Thing, Things We Said Today, and the Solo-Beatles Video Podcast Talk More Talk Does the world need one more Beatles book? When that work brushes aside decades of myth and focuses on an underexplored area Beatles fandom it certainly does, with the rigor worthy of cultural heroes whose historic importance continues to grow. -- Robert Rodriguez, author and host of the Something About The Beatles podcast
