What was the first song the Beatles recorded for Sgt. Pepper? Who bought George Harrison his first guitar? What was John Lennon's childhood nick-name? Which Beatles song mentions the legendary Frank Zappa? When Beatles fans get together, these are just some of the questions they might hurl at each other. THE ULTIMATE BEATLES QUIZ BOOK II picks up right where the first one left off, offering the most elaborate and entertaining collection of Beatles queries ever to be published - at least since the original, that is. Michael Hockinson asks the questions that no-one else even thought to ask, and the result is a quiz book that not even Beatles fanatics will have all the answers to. Filled with one-of-a-kind minutiae and loads of Fab Four lore, this is one book that no Beatles lover can be without.

A Beatles Fan Would Love This Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Beatles Quiz Book (Paperback)
This is a book filled with a lot of interesting information about the Beatles. Although a true fan may already know all the answers, it is a fun book to have!

The only trivia book you'll ever need,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Beatles Quiz Book (Paperback)
This book is really a history of the Beatles cunningly disguised as a trivia book. The author has an extensive and exhaustive knowledge of his subject, as the reader soon becomes painfully aware. These questions are highly entertaining, but they'll make your brain bleed. Bottom line: written for Beatles' fans by a hardcore Beatles fan. What could be better?

Far More Than A Quiz Book!!!,
By Dan Swan (Lincoln City, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Beatles Quiz Book II (Paperback)
This book has so much more information about "The Beatles" than any others I've read... including The "NEW" Anthology!!! The author is obviously an "EXPERT" in all that is "Beatles". I pride myself as quite the Beatles aficionado, but this book is so far beyond anything I can relate to, it's not even funny. The amount of work that went into the creation of this book is simply mind boggling. Every Beatles fan on the planet should own this book. If you "think" you "know" The Beatles; this book will challange you beyond your wildest dreams. By far the "Best" resource ever written on "The Fab Four". Thank You Mr. Hockinson; for a job well done. The "Ultimate" to say the least.
