"This entertaining compilation of Beatles lore is written with flair, and the four-part organization invites efficient look-ups as well as enjoyable browsing. VERDICT Appropriate for either the reference shelf or the circulating collection and considerably less expensive than Kenneth Womack’s recent The Beatles Encyclopedia." —Library Journal

"This single-volume encyclopedia offers fans and general readers an easy entrée to the world of the Beatles. . . . As the authors are all serious Beatlemaniacs, the material is opinionated and personal, but that just makes the work all the more relatable to fans. . . . This would make a popular addition to any music collection." —Booklist
