Thoroughly enjoyed this book which helps to dispel some common Beatle myths and also adds significantly to our knowledge-base. Reading this book helped me to understand the magical prescription that helped to develop the fantastic story that would unfold over the years!
The best source to find this wonderful book is either on Ebay or Abe Books!

The true story of the woman John Lennon loved. Includes the work and music they made together, the love story of John & Yoko, and her relationship with the Beatles.
Ono’s incredible story goes way beyond what most people know.
There are astounding details about Yoko’s life (thirty-three years before meeting Lennon, twelve years with him, and over forty years of creativity since his death).
The author has followed Ono’s career since the mid-1960s, assembling a vast media archive on the artist. Yoko’s own voice, along with Lennon’s and others (in cited, published interviews) tell her undeniably true and complete story, disproving many myths. Bocaro has spent valuable time with Ono, gaining incredible insight.
Here is the ultimate exploration of Yoko’s childhood, her relationship with Lennon, her art, films, music and activism for peace and women’s rights.
It’s a shame that both the front & back covers have the photos printed backwards. ☹️
Hopefully the contents are more error-free.
Is there anything new that wasn’t covered in the unabridged version of Mark Lewisohn’s bio “Tune In” in 2013?
I enjoyed the book because it deals specifically with the genealogical subject matter. Even though Lewisohn is unparalleled in his level of detail in his books, I can often feel like I am drowning in the significant amount of detail being offered. I personally have a low attention span that inhibits me from reading large amounts of print material in a single sitting. I look for bits of info that are of interest to me personally. I enjoyed this book because of the subject matter specificity. As to the backwards photos, you have made your opinion very clear on that issue before, and I do not disagree with the critique, but it is not an essential matter for me to dislike the book. That’s the beauty of opinions. We all can have one and most of us are able to justify those opinions based on what we individually deem to be important support for those opinions!
Oh, well, different strokes for different folks! I personally loved the unabridged version (read the abridged version first!) It took me quite a while to get through it, but all the history and genealogy was fascinating to me. I hope Mark releases part 2 asap. Hard to believe this year it will have been 12 years since part 1 was released!
