I’m doing a project about british music in the 60’s and want to do a page on the beatles. does anybody know about any SHORT books for younger people that include basic info about the band and the members? I’m not looking to read some 800-page beatles anthology here, just like a 30 page thing or less. can anyone suggest any books?
i can only have a limited # of sources, so it should have info (liek mini-bios) about ALL the band members as well as info about the band. thanks!
oh! i did a project like this. this one book really helped…..
1960s : the age of rock
Malcolm Hayes
(Series: 20th century music)

does it have to be a book? cos you can always look through music magazines and search on the internet.

what class is that for? That’s so cool you get to do a project on them. I went to Best Buy the other day and they had this really good book with tons of pictures and some writing but not like a novel. I think it was just called the Beatles. You should check that out. I’m sure they would also have it at Barnes and Nobles or Borders.

Try "The Compleat Beatles" or The Illustrated Beatles". Those are both good books to start with. Any Barnes and Noble type bookstore should have half a section on them if those are no longer in print.

Get "Abbey Road to Zapple Records: A Beatles Encyclopedia" by Judson Knight, it’s about 300 pages long, but it’s made up of small articles that deal with the biographies of each member, information about each song and album, reasons for their break up, etc…
