This book is filled with numerous photographs chronicling the entire span of the Beatles. I particularly enjoyed the chronology notes on each time period, which lists both professional and personal events in each of the lives of the band members.

There are slight factual errors and typos. For example, John Lennon's song, "Beautiful Boy," is called "Beatiful [sic] Boys" in the book, and once John's name is incorrectly substituted for Paul's in a statement about "John and Linda" rather than Paul and Linda.

Despite the typos, the chronology notes make interesting reading. For instance, John married Yoko only eight days after Paul married Linda. Also, George and Pattie were busted for cannabis possession on the same day as Paul's wedding. Lots of great Beatles trivia and rare photographs.
