Centers around one single day which changed the course of music history. A must read. Cool insight into the day the Beatles began.5 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A must-have for any Beatles fanBy Nancy J. MumfordI bought this book thinking it might be a good addition to my Beatles book collection. but truly not expecting it to have much substance. Surprise! Its one of the best books about the Beatles I have read. The writer weaves all the little facts from that day into a darn good read and I even learned a few things. A good story and well worth the money!1 of 5 people found the following review helpful. For Beatlemaniacs onlyBy A CustomerWell. Ill throw a little water on all these gushing reviews. As I waded through all the minutia details in this book. it struck me that were I not a hard core Beatle devotee I would be bored to tears. But. for all you true Beatlemaniacs out there this book has real value as an addition to your collection. I was especially interested in the few pages at toward the end where Paul plays in front of the Quarrymen and makes such an impression on John.
