Question

beatles
hello......about 18-20 years ago i picked up what appears to be a rough draft that was possibly going to be a beatles book...it has every song that they had written as well as the words....there are circled corrections in some of the writings.....also copies of pictures and samples of the writings of the beatles as well ..it was printed up in 1980 according to the dates on the front page...i can send you more pictures sometime if you need to see more.......i'm just curios as to whether or not this book was ever published or could it be.......i'll try to send the most informative picture i can but you really cant tell from just 1 picture i dont think......thanks!.......keith

Answer
Hi Keith!

Yeah, you're right, I can't tell much by that picture. If you'd like, you can send more to pattie@luvmedeux.com and I'll take a look. At first glance, it doesn't look like any book on the Beatles that I've ever seen, and I happen to collect Beatle books. Is there any name on it at all that may indicate who the author is? Perhaps it was never finished because the market already has so many books exactly like that as far as content is concerned. That's an interesting find to be sure! Thanks for the question.

Peace,
Pattie
