The Beatles appear as collective authors on books that document their music and history in their own words. The Beatles Anthology assembles extensive interviews with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, supported by photographs, documents and contributions from people around the band, creating an oral-history-style account from Liverpool through Beatlemania, studio experimentation and the breakup. Other authorised volumes collect lyrics, photographs or material connected with films and albums, including illustrated editions related to Yellow Submarine. These books are visual and documentary rather than conventional band biographies written by an outsider. The strongest catalogue links are music history, rock memoir, song lyrics, photographic archives and Beatles reference. Read more Less
