This is a great calendar with many great photos. There is one little problem however. There is little to no space to write anything down on it. This makes a great calendar just to check the day but for anything else, it just makes a good looking poster book.

The small photos are all in Black and White. A picture of the calender online shows a color photo, so I assumed the calender woulod be in color. There is no space in write in on the dates. The calender does not even show the year. I can't believe Apple would license this garbage. What a waste of money.

If you've got to have a 2002 Beatles wall calendar, this is the one. I suppose it's the only one on the market. But the photos in this calendar leave much to be desired. All of the photos are posed, flat-looking images. Many of them are not in complete color.

Several of them are printed with black and one color. For example, black, along with several shades of green. And several of the photos have lines laid along them, to give the appearance of interconnecting photos, in their frames.

This calendar is just not so great. There are better photos of The Beatles available-- maybe the company is holding those back to use next year.

I buy a Beatles calendar every year. Judging by the cover I thought it was a collection of old photographs that are fun to look at as time goes on. It turned out being a collection of album covers by the beatles. I have one of these from somewhere in the past & I find them boring since I have them all anyway. I guess next time I have to look more carefully. If you like the album covers or don't already have them 20 times over then you're in luck.

The selection of Beatles calendars was horrible this year, and this is the best of the bad options. The pictures are good, but I HATE calendars that do not follow the correct sequence of days: Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat. This calendar has the days listed: Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun. Monday is NOT the first day of the week! I can't tell you how many times I've gotten days wrong becasue I look at the calendar for say, Monday, and automatically look to the second column. I forget that the second column is actually Tuesday on this calendar. Other than that, it's a decent product.

Th3e calendar is nice;however, it leans too heavily towards the later years of the band and does not give a whole cross-section of their history.

Based on the cover you see here, you might assume that this calendar will feature quirky pictures of the 4 Lads from Liverpool used to promote their singles or as sleeve art. This is true for 10 months of the year, but two of the months simply show graphics - typset words like "Hey Jude." No pictures for these two months. If I buy a Beatles calendar, I want to see a picture of the guys each month.

The other annoying thing about this calendar for me is that they start the week on Monday, instead of from Sunday across to Saturday. A disappointing purchase.

What more do you want or need? Nicely laid out, quality print and materials used for the calendar. I love the album covers and the nostalgia that goes with it. Highly recommended for any Beatles freak.

This is a beautiful calendar that heralds each month with a picture of the Beatles from their 1966 "Revolver" album cover and time period. Beatle fans and others will love this one.

Just think - you can have the Beatles "eight days a week!" (taken from their 1965 classic of that title, "Eight Days a Week.")

I pretty much like all things Beatle's but a calendar that contains little more than album covers is somewhat lame. There are so many other better photos and not so common poses that would have been more interesting, but not a bad calandar over all.
