Long and Winding Road: The Greatest Beatles Stories Ever Told
The Beatles were the greatest rock band of all time. And their influence spread far beyond music, influencing the culture and politics of the sixties in a profound way. In Long and Winding Road, editor Luis Miguel curates the very best writing about the Beatles, from the mysterious death of original Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe to the curious tale of the dentist who is trying to clone John Lennon from a tooth. This collection brings together writing from all four Beatles, including Paul McCartney's first-person account of an early gig where the Beatles played for Janice the Stripper in a Liverpool club. We also hear from contemporary music critics and fans who were there for some of the most amazing Beatles moments, such as their Ed Sullivan Show appearance. Long and Winding Road is a must read for Beatles fans, music fans, and anyone curious about how four lads from Liverpool defined the sixties and changed the world. Featuring writing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Bill Harry, Dave Bidini, Joe Rodgers, Harry Castleman, Walter J. Podrazik, Ron Oberman, Jason Brown and many more!

Nothing new
A so-so book about the greatest band ever. While a few of the stories are interesting, too many are bland reprints of stuff that's been done to death.

This anthology belongs to a series called Fan Reads which are "curated fan based anthologies". Now this could hide a multitude of sins but in this case is a well thought out chronological stroll through the annals of the Fabs with some very interesting stories, some well known, some new and some downright quirky (the dentist who bought one of John Lennon's teeth for example). For fans only.

If you are a Beatles fan like I am, this is a very interesting book. It is articles from magazines and newspapers at the time the events happened, so there isn't historical perspective as much as fan and journalist reaction in real time. Very good!

I'm a big Beatles fan, but this book was just tedious. After about 30%, I had to put it aside.

This is a fun read and brilliant in its simplicity. Articles about the Beatles. Brilliant. Some of the articles I liked, some I loved, some I did not like. Just a great read.
