This is too cuteπ₯Ή
More Beatles in Peanuts style but now Martha is there too (mad day out outfits)
For myself, I would rec:
1) Fab Gear: The Beatles And Fashion (Book by Paolo Hewitt)-> My fave so far amongst all the Beatles books that I have read, art & (Beatles) fashion rocks!π¨πΆπ my rating: 10/10
2) Beatles '66: The Revolutionary Year (Book by Steve Turner)-> Basically, my fave Beatles year, so if you're into their psychedelic transition period too, this book's for you tooπππππ my rating: 9/10
3) In His Own Write (Book by John Lennon himself)-> Well, if you're a Beatles fan, you just need to read what goes on in this Beatle mind, nonsensical stuff indeedβπππ my rating: 7.5/10
4) Being John Lennon (Book by Ray Connolly)-> Awesome, non-draggy autobiography of John, has some shocking & also bittersweet eg. the last few days/ years of John b4 his death parts... β€ππΈmy rating: 9/10
5) (Okay, this one's not directly a Beatles book but she is John's wife so lets just inc her in) Yoko Ono: Collector Of Skies (Book by Nell Beram & Carolyn Boriss-Krimsky)-> Just like book #4 as above, this is an autobiography of Yoko told in a simplified way, suitable for teensπ¨πβπ my rating: 8/10
6) Grapefruit (Book by Yoko Ono herself)-> A cool compilation of Yoko's instructions that has a dreamy vibe to it imo, just like the authoress herself, no wonder John became intrigued by her & her art back in '66-'68!βππ my rating: 9/10
7) John (Solo Series)-> An easy to understand book to satisfy some of your John obsessionππmy rating: 7.5/10
8) Revolver-> Technical explanation on how the band made the albumβs songs from a music studio POV, still can satisfy the Revolver obsession in you (if you have, that is, like yours truly heeeππ)πΏmy rating: 8/10
**I can't seem to find John's other self-written book as below via online though...π
- A Spaniard In The Works
*** I probably will update further in this post because me have read other Beatles-related books although some of them are for children (well, I work in a library that's whyπβ) & maybe also including books that the Beatles found inspo material for their songs... these inc adaptations from their songs (for eg. A Little Help From My Friends, Octopus' Garden + sing-along CD, Imagine etc.), Paul's Grandude series & the Tibetan Book Of The Dead...ππ€
Till then... reading is life!ππ
