1st Edition 2013. Limited Edition of 140 this being 43. Signed by Mark Lewisohn. Very rare. The Beatles have been at the top for fifty years and their acclaim and achievements cannot be surpassed. But who really were the Beatles, and how did they and everything else in the 1960s fuse so explosively Mark Lewisohn's three-part biography is the first true and accurate account of the Beatles, a contextual history built upon impeccable research and written with energy, style, objectivity and insight. This first volume covers the crucial and less-known early period - the Liverpool and Hamburg years of a hungry rock and roll band, when all the sharp characters and situations take shape.This is the Beatles like you've never read them before. It isn't just 'another book', it's the book, from the world-acknowledged authority. A beautifully produced true first edition of the first part of the definitive three-volume biography of the Beatles, featuring extra and exclusive material. Book and wrapper are fine. Light mark to page edges.
