Product Description

When Beatles fans get together, these are the kind of questions they hurl at each other: crazy, clever, and arcane; gleaned from decades' worth of listening and reading between the lines. THE ULTIMATE BEATLES QUIZ BOOK is the most elaborate and entertaining collection of these questions, trivial and otherwise, that has ever been compiled by a rabid Beatlemaniac. Carefully selected and arranged to appeal to eager beginners, car-radio-sing-alongers, and even the most jaded diehards (and we mean it!), it's also an unstoppably readable, one-of-a-kind mine of facts, photos, and Fab Four lore.

Editorial Reviews

Review
"Imagine an entire season of 'Jeopardy' devoted to the Beatles and you've got [this book]." --"Variety"
"Page after page of fun and frustration...digs into the deepest depth of Beatledom to come up with hundreds of Q's and A's that are sure to stump even the most diehard Beatles trivia nuts...One of the most enjoyable Beatles-related books to find its way into print in some time." --"Goldmine"
"[A] Beatles buff's delight." --"Dallas Morning News"

From the Author
You have an Anthology...how about a Chronology?
Those who bought my first book, "The Ultimate Beatles Quiz Book," already know what they can expect from the second: challenging questions with answers containing a little bit extra. I'm hoping you'll discover a few things you didn't already know about our favourite group; perhaps now you have a piece of information you always wanted reference to. This time I have arranged my chapters chronologically by year, 1050 questions in all, with 25 question queries covering each year in the careers of John, Paul, George and Ringo, from 1960 to 1999, plus a chapter covering events from 1100-1956 and another for 1957-1959. Think you know your Beatles? Run through the 250 questions for 1960-1969 and get back with me. I take it right up the last moments of 1999 and the Beatles song the Millennium Choir sang prior to the Queen's opening of the Millennium Dome - remember what it was? I've included *all* my sources for each answer and topped it off with 50 nifty illustrations taken from my own humble collection. Enjoy the book and let me know what you think!
