Reddit mentions of The Beatles: The Biography

I very much disagree with this suggestion. While the book can be pretty insightful, it's also full of inaccuracies, many of which have been repeated over the years in other works.

I'd suggest starting with Bob Spitz's biography, which is a very readable and tells the story in a compelling way.

(I do recommend reading the Hunter Davies book later on, but with a skeptical eye. I would also recommend eventually reading an "overwhelming" biography such as Mark Lewisohn's massive study, once you're sufficiently far down the rabbit hole.)

It looks like the same shoot that's the cover of Bob Spitz's biography. Haven't seen those exact pictures though

This is a really cool book, if you're interested in knowing a little more about the people behind the music.
