    An Interesting Read, has everything left to know about the Beatles

    Fab Four FAQ goes in-depth with over 50 something chapters of Beatles history and potpourri. Ever wanted to know about the musical acts that were knocked from their #1 spot by the Beatles? What about the original titles to currently existing Beatles records? The Fab Four FAQ comes stacked with just about every obscure factoid about the Fab Four, the authors (Stuart Shea and Robert Gonzalez) go all out in making this all about Beatles book, digging deep from their beginnings in their teens as the Quarry Men, all the way to their official breakup, and everything in between. Over 500 pages, they even go in depth with the people who were associated with the Beatles, including Linda McCartney, Pete Best, Yoko Ono, and many others. This may not be a book for those who aren't fans of the Beatles, or have little interest in them. However, if you are a casual fan or a Fab Four fanatic, this book is bound to have at least one thing that you probably didn't know about the Beatles.
