Author and Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn is in the process of writing a 3 volume biography of The Fabs, with the first volume due to hit bookshelves in 2010. Mr. Lewisohn has undertaken the mind boggling 17 year project for a few reasons, one of which being that he’s dissatisfied with some of the works already out there, siting their quality and accuracy. Researching this project has been no small task, as he’s been going through hundereds of original documents and interviewing scores of people that have lived through that period. All aspects of each individual Beatle will be covered in depth, going back to the family backgrounds of each of them, as well as writing in depth about the city of Liverpool, and how it was at the time of the Beatles rise to fame. Says Mr. Lewisohn…

“To me, it’s crucial this is understood. These won’t be books saying ‘Hey weren’t the Beatles great!’ They’ll be thorough, balanced, comprehensive histories.”

This ought to be quite an impressive collection for all dyed-in-the wool Beatle fans out there. Maybe I’ll add it to my collection of Beatles books, but first I guess I should tackle what I already have sitting in my bookcase. so many to choose from!
