Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Jacket by Rex Features Ltd (illustrator). Revised Edition. First published by Heinemann in 1968, this is a first revised and illustrated edition of 1985. Ex library with usual stamps, dockets and defects. Some edge wear to top and bottom of largely cream jacket and spine, contents shaken, corners bruised, some creasing along folds, not price clipped (£12.95), no personal inscriptions, internally clean, overall a reasonable copy for ex library. 498pp, illustrated. During 1967 and 1968 Hunter Davies spent eighteen months with the Beatles at the peak of their powers as they defined a generation and rewrote popular music. As their only ever authorised biographer he had unparalleled access, not just to John, Paul, George and Ringo but to friends, family and colleagues. There when it mattered, he collected a wealth of intimate and revealing material that still makes this the classic Beatles book, the one all other biographers look to. The original psychodeliic jacket was by Alan Aldridge (1938-2017). He was a British artist, graphic designer and illustrator. He is best known for his psychedelic art work made for books and record covers by The Beatles and The Who. A scarce book, even in this later revised impression. Seller Inventory # 011162
