Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Alan Aldridge [Jacket design] (illustrator). First Edition. First impression of the true first edition, published in the UK by William Heinemann in September 1968. With 32 pages of monochrome photographs. Classic 1960s jacket design by Alan Aldridge. ***Very good in purple cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright. The boards are clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. There is a light vertical reading crease to the spine. Corners sharp. No tears to the cloth. The top edge and fore edge of the text block are discoloured and lightly foxed. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. No tears or creases to the pages. Slight offsetting to the endpapers but interior pages clean. ***In a very good illustrated dustwrapper with some marks and creasing commensurate with age and handling. The dustwrapper has been corner price-clipped, but is otherwise complete, without any chips - just some light creasing at the extremities. There is a 2cm closed tear at the top of the spine with some associated creasing to the top of the back panel. Dustwrapper clean - just slightly browned with age. ***374 pages including a complete Discography and The Beatles Finances at the back of the book. 222 mm x145 mm. ***Contents: Introduction, Part One: Liverpool, Part Two: London and the World, Part Three: Today, Appendix A - The Beatles' Songs, Appendix B - The Beatles' Finances. ***'Throughout this biography the Beatles are talking about themselves, then and now. This is their story, mainly in their own words, showing warts and all. For those who still believe their public image as four clean sweet mop-heads, the warts will be a surprise. There is no attempt to condone or condemn, to explain or analyse. This is a biographical record out of which emerges the elements which formed them, from John and Paul's personalities to the creation of their present-day songs. By illuminating the facts the reasons for their success become apparent. The details of what Brian Epstein did for them are made clear and so are the events leading up to his death, a death which in many ways summed up an age. This is not a fan book, though the author is a fan and Beatle fans throughout the world will find it fascinating. It is a social document of our times.' [Quote taken from the front and back flaps of the dustwrapper] ***'"The Beatles: The Authorised Biography" is a book written by British author Hunter Davies and published by Heinemann in the UK in September 1968. It was written with the full cooperation of the Beatles and chronicles the band's career up until early 1968, two years before their break-up. It was the only authorised biography of the Beatles written during their career. Davies published revised editions of the book in 1978, 1982, 1985, 2002 and 2009. According to Davies, the authorised history was initially viewed as "quite daring and revealing", particularly in the US, and to quote the Beatles using the word "fuck" was "most unusual in a popular book at the time". Jonathan Gould considers it to be a worthy account of the band's history. He says that, aside from its few factual errors, the book deserves its status as an authoritative source for subsequent Beatles biographies.
