This delightful book about the Beatles' meteoric arrival in America in 1964 is extremely well written. The nonpareil photographs make a good thing even better still. Benson had the unique advantage of traveling with the Beatles and capturing them up close and personal. Readers will delight at the boyish fun the Beatles had; they were really big children in those days. The ideal companion book to this one is The Beatles: A Private View. If you loved Benson's book, you will also love Larry Kane's Ticket to Ride: Inside the Beatles' 1964 and 1965 Tours That Changed the World. Kane was a reporter who got to travel with the Beatles during their heyday and had wonderful anecdotes as well as photographs to share.
I give this a hearty endorsement and a resounding yeah, yeah, yeah! I love it and have an autographed copy!
