2.0 out of 5 stars Racked With Errors, August 13, 2005

By	BeatleBangs1964 (United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This book has some good points. It provides interesting information about people involved with the Beatles.

However, it is racked with glaring errors that are EMBARRASSING! The worst ones are as follows:

1. George and Louise are listed as parents of the Harrison children. NOT TRUE! Harold and Louise were the senior Harrisons. George, the father of his own siblings? I DON'T THINK SO!

2. George's year of birth was given as 1944 when he was born in 1943. His brother Peter's year of birth was given as 1943 when he was born in 1940!

There is just no excuse for this kind of sloppy reporting. How this got past the editor's desk I'll never know.

3.0 out of 5 stars Read it with a red pen, June 11, 2003

By A Customer

This is an extremely comprehensive book that is riddled with errors. For someone who knew the Beatles so well it's amazing how many mistakes there are. True Beatles fans will have a hard time resisting the urge to correct them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beatles Blowout!, June 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ultimate Beatles Encyclopedia (Paperback)

This book was surely worth the money. For those of youexpecting a biography of the beatles, look look somewhere else. Onlyread if you know the beatles basics- this book is arranged in alphabetical order by last name of the person, etc. I especially reccommend this as a gift for beatles fanatics... you'll love it when they won't stop thanking you!
