As most members of this blog are aware, the primary purpose of the blog is to make people aware of the voluminous amount of print material about the Beatles that exists, or may be available in the marketplace.
The ideal function of the blog is not only to present the older and more obscure print material but also new and forthcoming titles as well. According to Amazon UK, the following book about the Beatles is due to be published in June of 2025.
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THEIR FRIENDS: The story of the world’s biggest band. With a little help from their friends. Hardcover – 5 Jun. 2025-by Stuart Maconie (Author) Publisher: HarperNorth
The book is available for pre-order at Amazon UK
HarperNorth acquires ‘epic tale’ from Stuart Maconie of the people who made The Beatles
Here is the Amazon UK description provided about the book:
Everyone knows a Beatles tune. But their story goes beyond the omnipresent songs and iconic albums. Theirs is a tale that has become one of the core stories we tell about ourselves as a nation. The Beatles narrative has both shaped and reflected the country we live in today. Four lads from Liverpool have taken a seat alongside Shakespeare as one of our key cultural exports to the world, a world they changed and re-made in their own image in a blaze of creativity. But these four distinct personalities changed the world not in isolation but with more than a little help from their friends.
Like all the best stories there’s an incredible supporting cast, and all the most compelling elements of the great dramas: ambition, power, triumph, disaster, heartbreak, tragedy, drama, intrigue, lust…and of course, love.
Split into 3 sections, Before The Beatles, With the Beatles and Beyond the Beatles, bestselling writer and broadcaster Stuart Maconie tells the epic tale of the people who made the band who made Britain, and along the way adds his own experiences, encounters and conversations that show the Beatles like you’ve never seen them before.
AFTERWORD:
Since the book has not yet been published I certainly can not give a fair opinion about the contents contained within. However, I am certainly interested in the angle used to tell this world famous story!!! Looking forward to reading the book when it arrives!
BUZZ
