This review is from: The George Harrison Encyclopedia (Paperback)

I bought this book based on the far superior Beatles Encyclopedia written by Bill Harry. This was a big disappointment. The book is riddled with inconsistencies and inaccurate information. For example, there are three differnt stories on how the Traveling Wilbury's were formed, depending on if one reads the Roy Orbison entry, the Tom Petty entry or the Traveling Wilbury entry. Unlike the Beatles Encyclopedia, there are no pictures, which would have greatly enhanced this book. I am giving it three stars as there was some new (to me anyway) information, but the editting and fact checking were very sloppy.

...to check out this book! Although there are some inaccuracies in this work, it is still a treat to read. This is a MUST have for Harrison fans and Beatle fans alike. This book gives a good coverage of the life of the youngest Beatle; the people and events that influenced his career and his own deeply profound words. This is a welcome addition from the inveterate Harrison fan to people who are just becoming familiar with the works and life of this outstanding artist. George Harrison was a man who did, indeed, with his words AND his music influence countless people.

I love the book and can't recommend it highly enough.

There are many people and songs I didn't know George was involved with. This book is full of information going back in his ancestry and one thing I learned is that Georges' birthday is Feb. 24th NOT Feb. 25th.
