This book is written by Larry Kane. He followed exclusively the BEATLES on their tours in 1964/1965. The only American journalist in the official Baetles press group. The book was never read and the CD is still in it's original cover. The book cover is in very good shape except if you turn it to the light you will see some lines on the front. I heard it is a great book. I bought it for my husband, who is totally into the Beatles, especially because of the rare interviews on the CD. But he did not even glanced at it. Well I hope you honer this book more and better. Have a great time listening to the CD and reading the book. Thanks for browsing.
