I borrowed it through interlibrary loan, and am up to "Please Please
Me." I've noticed some trivial errors, and as mentioned it doesn't have
some of the details in other books. However, it's interesting seeing
how it places the Beatles in their historical and social context, which
is an approach I haven't seen before. I agree, it's worth reading, but
only after one is already familiar with the basic Beatles story.
If somehow I could only have one Beatles book, though, my preference
would be Lewisohn's "Recording Sessions." Just my opinion.
