I’m definitely way past where I am able to actually count all of the Beatles books I’ve read. It’s safe to say it’s more than just seven. My point is that my list of the seven best books about The Beatles is not just thrown together, it’s a thoughtfully selected list of 7 out of the many books on The Beatles that I have read.

The Beatles Anthology - If I had to recommend only one book to every Beatles fan it would be this. It’s The Beatles story as told by the band themselves and it’s filled with great information, great insights, and fantastic pictures.

The Beatles Complete Scores - Every song The Beatles released from 1962 to 1970. It includes the complete words and music for each song and it also includes the tab for guitarists who don’t read music (and it should be mentioned that John Lennon & Paul McCartney could not read music.)

Many Years From Now - McCartney’s 1st person account of The Beatles career.

Revolution In The Head - This handy resource includes factual information on each Beatles song with quite a lot of opinion. While the opinions are often way off the mark (at least in my own opinion!) they do make the book more interesting.

The Beatles As Musicians - Technically I’m cheating with this book because this is actually a two book series. One book covers the The Beatles from their beginnings through Rubber Soul and the other picks up at Revolver through the end of their career. This book is meant for those who are very interested in an extremely detailed look at The Beatles music (not their biography, but their songs.) Contains much music theory!

Recording The Beatles - This book costs one hundred dollars and is really only of much interest to people who record music. If that sounds like you, it’s probably worth the hefty price tag.

Here, There, & Everywhere: My Life Recording The Beatles - In some ways I think this book by recording engineer Geoff Emerick is actually the most interesting book on The Beatles I’ve ever read.

Most of these books are able to be downloaded and read on the Kindle DX and on the new Global Kindle ebook reading gadgets.
